DocsCorp protects against data leaks with NetDocuments
DocsCorp has released a new version of its data leak prevention software, cleanDocs 2.2, which integrates with NetDocuments, the leading cloud-based content management and security platform for law firms and corporate legal and compliance departments, to enable users to clean documents of metadata.
Removing document metadata minimizes the risk of data leaks when sharing files outside of NetDocuments.
DocsCorp Co-Founder and President Dean Sappey encouraged NetDocuments users to adopt the new integration and cautioned them against complacency when managing document metadata.
“Metadata is a data protection risk most people aren’t aware of. The most important thing to know is it can lead to inadvertent leaks and compliance breaches. And, without metadata management, every email you send could be putting you at risk of severe financial penalties and professional damage under new laws and regulations.”
Metadata is a serious risk, but it is not the only one when emailing documents externally. The major source of data leaks globally is human error: emailing the wrong person, attaching the wrong document, or a combination of both. cleanDocs addresses this by requiring users to confirm recipients and attachments as correct, which are then cleaned of metadata and sent.
