"Document Integrity, tighter security and compliance are absolute requirements and Workshare's integration with the Microsoft Office System gives users the power to meet this challenge."

Adam LeVasseur - Group Product Manager at Microsoft Corp

Workshare Protect is the industry leading document security application for Microsoft Office documents. Ensure your organization is secure from the embarrassment, financial risk, and liability of confidential information leaks.

Confidentiality Leaks

Increasingly, Organisations are at risk to the exposure and loss of confidential information. Typically, Executive's have focussed on the threat of outside-in attacks on corporate security but insider leakage of sensitive information, whether inadvertent or malicious, is grabbing attention due to the financial and legal implications for any organisation whether large or small. Information such as Company financials, employee information, customer lists, Intellectual Property and corporate communications are all types of sensitive information that should stay controlled inside an organisations network.

What information is your business leaking?

• Server names and email addresses revealing a map to the
  corporate network leaving it exposed to outside-in network
  attacks
• Quarterly financial information accidentally emailed to a
  competitor
• Confidential customer information exposed to other customers
  or prospects
• Employee salary information made available for other
  employees to see.

Workshare Protect provides leading document security to ensure that confidential information remains confidential.

Policy Based Control

Stricter internal and external controls are influencing security and compliance technology solutions in today's businesses. These security requirements demand solutions like Workshare Protect 4 to centrally configure, manage and enforce document security policies across an organization.

• Enterprise Risk Ratings are defined as High, Medium and Low using XML templates to enforce policy-based perimeter security.
• Improved Policy Management to manage and enforce document security policies across an organization
• Enables standardized PDF policy

Document Rights Over Email

Unintentional leaks of confidential internal and customer information occur regularly and often without any knowledge that the organization is exposed. Workshare Protect provides a range of security levels to block sensitive information leaks.

• Internal and external perimeter settings control all rights at the
  domain name level, and can only be overridden by power users
  given those access rights.
• PDF documents can be automatically generated without the
  need for additional software
• PDF's contain optional lockdown controls such as setting
  passwords, preventing copying and printing, and changing any
  data.
• Document attachments over administrator-set sizes are
  automatically zipped, providing email management on both
  sender and receiver email servers.
• Embedded email attachments are now detected and security
  policies enforced.
• Notification of blocked email informs end users of inadvertent
  send to: recipients.
• Encrypted documents can now be un-encrypted, hidden data
  removed and re-encrypted transparent to the user during the
  email send process.
• Multiple email attachments can have their security policies and
  PDF settings managed on an individual file basis
