email encryption

smarshEncrypt


Protecting your clients' valuable electronic data from data leak and data breach security has never been more mission-critical.

The SEC's Regulation S-P mandates safeguarding clients' personal information. Over 40 states now have data breach laws (such as those in Nevada and Massachusetts), requiring businesses to securely transmit confidential electronic data. The Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that policies and procedures must be established and implemented to protect the use and disclosure of individuals’ protected health information (PHI).
The volume of sensitive content stored within email and delivered through email grows. Data breaches can cost your organization in both dollars and reputation, and with increasing governance and regulatory obligations, the punitive consequences associated with failure to protect sensitive data outweigh the cost of deploying encryption capabilities.
For compliance professionals, the introduction of an email encryption solution as a messaging security method has traditionally complicated the already labor-intensive process of corporate email supervision. Having to use “keys” or install new software or use multiple interfaces to accomplish both message encryption and email compliance policy enforcement can make data security an impediment to general business operations.
Not to mention that encrypted messages can often prove to be difficult or near-impossible to review. It becomes virtually impossible for compliance to satisfactorily enforce its supervision policies if it can't review an original message and track the audit history within its archive.

smarshEncrypt is a secure messaging platform that enables users to securely send and receive electronic data. Using Smarsh’s proprietary data-leak prevention engine, smarshDLP, administrators can establish corporate usage policies and automatically enforce the encrypted transmission of email and files that meets specified criteria. For example, email to specific recipients, or messages featuring specific content in the body or in attachments, can trigger delivery via smarshEncrypt. Encrypted delivery can also be initiated manually by the sender.

From there, message recipients are notified of the secure transmission and follow simple instructions to access the smarshEncrypt secure cloud. In seconds, the sender and recipient(s) can confidentially and securely read and reply to messages sent via the platform. Intellectual property, sensitive client financial information or private health information, for instance, can be transmitted back-and-forth in accordance with emerging state and Federal data protection and data breach mandates and regulations.
Communicate with your clients, and give them the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the security of their data is a priority to your organization. All aspects of the smarshEncrypt experience – including notifications – can be customized, strengthening branding efforts and building trust with a demonstrated commitment to client data security.
Deployed via the “SaaS” (software-as-a-service) model, the smarshEncrypt platform lightens the burden on email servers, as both secure messages and attached files reside in the smarshEncrypt secure cloud (rather than on the sender's or recipient’s email server).  Clients' can use Smarsh's email encryption solution as a dedicated, secure file transfer system and eliminate the impact of file-size limits within their email systems.  Email related storage and costs are reduced, as is impact on network bandwidth.
The smarshEncrypt email encryption solution is designed to integrate seamlessly with Smarsh’s hosted email archiving and compliance solutions.  Within Smarsh's archiving infrastructure, the entire life cycle of an email can be tracked, starting with the original “pre-encrypted” message and including the comprehensive audit trail attached to each message.
The Web-based Smarsh Management Console serves as the consolidated administration destination for multiple functions.  There is no need to log into separate applications to access encryption controls, another to view “quarantined” pre-review messages and then another for the email supervision system.
No hardware, software or plug-ins are needed to access the Web-based system, and there are no certificate or key exchanges necessary to access secure messages.  The smarshEncrypt platform works with any email client, email system (including CRMs) or operating system, and service is compatible with all mobile messaging devices, including BlackBerries and iPhones.
Email encryption does not need to be expensive, complicated or intrusive.  Messaging security, data-leak prevention, data breach prevention and encryption are all parts of a responsible corporate email usage policy and should work to bolster compliance efforts, rather than impede them.  Put that theory into practice with smarshEncrypt.

smarshEncrypt will help your organization…

  • Meet both data protection and regulatory compliance obligations.
  • Send and access secure, protected messages easily.
  • Mitigate risk with policy-based encryption.
  • Transfer large files securely without worrying about file-size limits.
  • Remove the hassle associated with third-party encryption services.
  • Fortify trust with clients and strengthen brand presence with demonstrated commitment to data security.
  • Efficiently administrate message review, often complicated by traditional encryption methods.
  • Stay ahead of the evolving regulatory environment.
  • Save money with consolidated and reliable solutions.

Using smarshEncrypt as part of your integrated archiving and compliance solution, your organization can…

  • Consolidate. The Smarsh Management Console is your administration destination. There is no need to log into separate applications for your encryption software, another to view your “quarantined” pre-review messages and then another for your email supervision system.
  • Enforce policy-based encryption. Messages that meet your firm's customized criteria will be automatically sent with smarshEncrypt.
  • Communicate back-and-forth with clients confidentially within smarshEncrypt’s secure cloud. Intellectual property, sensitive client financial information or private health information, for instance, can be transmitted in accordance with emerging state and Federal data protection and data breach mandates and regulations.
  • Outlook? BlackBerry? iPhone? CRM? No problem. Incorporate encryption and data-leak prevention policy enforcement with any email system and with any tool used to send email.
  • Track the entire life cycle of an email message through your compliance audit system. Start with the original (“pre-encrypted”) message and track all actions taken on it.

Apple introduces iPhone developer RSS news feed, takes time off

Late yesterday, Apple introduced a RSS feed for news from the App Store Resource Center, which was introduced a few months ago, and gives iPhone developers news about what's going on with the App Store for developers. …

Last week, one of my colleagues asked me to comment on 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, which for those of us who can’t remember all the code names for the various USA Federal docs, is the one in which the Department of Health and Human Services publishes its interim final rule under HIPAA and HITECH regarding what data falls under these regulations, what a “breach” means, and the conditions in which data is deemed to have been “protected.”

Under HITECH/HIPAA, there is a duty in the USA to care for the privacy of “unsecured protected health information” – this means that anyone electronically processing our heath information has a duty of care to make sure no unauthorized people gain access to it, and a legal duty to inform us if a breach (or possible breach) of trust occurs.

Reading (and understanding!) this document is critical for anyone involved in the electronic handling of health related information, but some key sections I’d like to point out to you include,

“A covered entity must consider implementing encryption as a method for safeguarding electronic protected health information; however, because there are addressable implementation specifications, a covered entity may be in compliance with the Security Rule even if it reasonably decides not to encrypt protected health information and instead uses a comparable method to safeguard the information.”

Summary – Encryption is recommended, but not mandatory. You can use other methods if they are deemed equal.

The regs go on to say though,

“…covered entity chooses to encrypt..pursuant to this guidence..discovers a breach of that encrypted information, the covered entity will not be required to provide breach notification.. on the other hand, if covered entity has decided to use a  method other than encryption.. not specified in this guideance..covered entity may be in compliance.. following a breach, the covered entity would have to provide breach notification to affected individuals.”

Summary, if you don’t use encryption, you may be legal, but you STILL have to tell everyone.

It goes on to talk about access controls:

“If access controls are compromised, the underlying information may still be usable, readable, or deciperhable to an unauthorized individual, and thus constitute unsecured protected health information…”

So, it’s important to consider your access control and audit methodologies, as encryption on its own is not sufficient. The regs go further to even talk about safe key management:

“To avoid a breach of the confidential process or key, these decryption tools should be stored on a device or at a location separate from the data…”

So you should be very wary about encryption processes which store the key with the data, for example any product in wake-on-LAN (WOL) mode, or in a mode where authentication by a user is not required (for example TPM only mode in Bitlocker). It would seem that as in these cases, the key is stored alongside the data, they do not protect you from HITECH disclosure. To keep your immunity you must conform to the statement:

The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), Consumer Action, U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), Patient Privacy Rights, Private Citizen, and Privacy Journal are asking the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate potentially illegal activity by CVS Caremark.
