Tekdata And Code Green Networks Announces Data Protection Act Data Leak Assessment Service

April 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Tekdata Distributon and Code Green Networks, the leader in comprehensive data leak prevention solutions that can be deployed quickly and cost-effectively, today announced its Data Protection Act Data Leak Assessment Service, which is designed to identify the risks of data leakage for any organisation seeking compliance with the UK Data Protection Act.

The privacy and security of sensitive corporate data is a top concern for most organisations, but assessing the level of risk that their data might be exposed is often a daunting and time-consuming task.  In the UK, the Data Protection Act imposes compliance and legal responsibilities on a wide range of companies, and failure to comply can have serious consequences.  

The Code Green Networks Data Protection Act Data Leak Assessment Service is a pre-packaged, five-step approach to quickly identify data leak risks:

1.   A Code Green TrueDLP appliance, preconfigured to identify specific data leak risks associated with your organisation, is installed passively on the corporate network
2.   Sensitive data from internal databases, fileservers, or content management systems are securely registered with the appliance
3.   The Code Green appliance monitors the network for up to 10 days, collecting details on data leak incidents
4.   At the end of the monitoring period, a qualified Code Green or approved partner technician arrives on-site to collect and analyse the discovered incident details
5.   A detailed professional report is generated regarding the incidents and subsequent threat of data leak to the organisation.  Finally, the Code Green appliance is reset to factory defaults and removed from the network.

“In the UK, compliance with the Data Protection Act is a key concern for many companies,” said Rod Murchison, vice president of marketing and strategic alliances for Code Green Networks.  “With the Code Green Data Protection Act Data Leak Assessment Service, organisations can identify their data leak risks without significant expense or commitment, and they can learn a great deal about the flow of sensitive data throughout their network in the process.”

The Code Green Data Protection Act Data Leak Assessment Service package is available today starting at £8,000.  For more information, please visit www.codegreennetworks.com/assessment
