AvePoint has delivered the latest version of DocAve Content Shield for SharePoint 2010, offering features for scanning, blocking and quarantining malicious code as well as profane, discriminatory, confidential, or otherwise non-compliant content.

“In working with our customer base of 8,000+ in 63 countries, we’ve found the level of information governance required depends on how regulated content must be – it’s vital it is properly tagged and classified, abides by strict access policies, and assigned appropriate retention schedules for either purging or archiving,” said Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, Co-CEO of AvePoint.

“By appropriately tagging and classifying content, as well as ensuring that only appropriate content resides in specified locations, DocAve Content Shield directly addresses content classification, access requirements, and information governance policies for SharePoint 2010.”

DocAve Content Shield scans content prior to publishing to SharePoint 2010, verifying it against customisable keyword dictionaries, phrases, numbers, and patterns to block, tag, define content type, or quarantine content in real-time.

SharePoint 2010 environments are protected against spillage, contamination, and malicious code as well as profane, discriminatory, and confidential content between secure and unsecure farms.

It enables distinct governance and compliance policies to be implemented and enforced with customisable content metadata tagging, content classification, quarantine, and risk assessments.

Existing content is periodically scanned as keyword dictionaries and regular expressions or patterns are updated, to ensure all content residing in SharePoint 2010 complies with the latest information governance policies for sensitive or regulated content.

As regulated content is classified and appropriately tagged, policies for storage management and retention can also more easily be met with SharePoint 2010’s native Information Management policies or with AvePoint’s solutions for content management and storage, including DocAve Content Manager, DocAve Storage Manager, and DocAve Archiver. Organisations can also use DocAve Administrator for enhanced access policy compliance.
