PC encryption was once thought to be a complete endpoint data security prescription for compliance to consumer and patient health data protection mandates. Two recent developments make this remedy today incomplete. First, sensitive data has proliferated beyond just Mac and Windows PCs and is today found also on iPhones, iPads, and USB flash devices. True endpoint data security must encrypt & protect data on these mobile devices as well – particularly when employees bring their own devices (“BYOD”). And secondly, while no one argues that data security begins with encryption, it alone is insufficient if the password is known, can be learned, or is somehow compromised. You must have the ability to dynamically change policy and control security on these devices to protect your data under these circumstances too. With Beachhead tools you can.

Organizations who prefer complete and granular control of their PC, laptop and mobile device inventory will likely select one of Beachhead’s customer-managed subscription (SaaS) services. Others organizations may opt to have PC encryption handled for them by a Beachhead-authorized Managed Service Provider (MSPs) as an affordable monthly service.
