The Problem:

>> Highly sensitive information?

>> Exposure potential from both internal and external sources?

>> Time Critical?

How to secure for Non Executive Directors.

The Solution:

secure2trust will secure the board pack by:

• Encrypting its contents.

• Ensuring that only valid users can access it.

• Enforcing only permitted changes to the content.

• Stop it being passed on to others not authorized to access it.

• Signoff and comments embedded and tracked within the document.

Which Ensures:


Only pre-authorized internal or external personnel can see the contents of the board pack [includes the DBA].

Absolute security of the contents

Timing of when the contents are available down to the second.

Permits sending the board pack out early but won’t open until the appointed date/time.

If the board pack is sent in error its contents are protected and secured against unauthorized access.

Commentary at signoff by individual Directors can be embedded in the document and maintained for the statutory relevant period.

Prevents internal data administrators or external hosting services data administrators accessing protected information.

Information is protected and controlled wherever it resides e.g. memory sticks, CDs, email, laptops, SharePoint, Enterprise Content Management systems, Portals etc…

Protects the original file without altering it's native format, which is important for legal submissions and admissibility in a court.

With Minimum Impact:

No change to your current workflow.

No change to document/spreadsheet editor, Word, Excel, PDF

No Server installation or external hosting required.

Can be completely transparent to the user.
