Biscom Delivers Increased Security for Confidential Data with New Product Features

Aug. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Chelmsford, MA – Biscom, provider of the legal industry’s most trusted document exchange technology, announced today new product features that include a secure workspace iPad app and heightened protection for email  through an integration with PayneGroup’s Outlook Send Assistant. All the new features deliver increased protection for confidential client data.  

Enhanced Security When on the Go

In January, Biscom introduced an app that allows lawyers and legal professionals to send documents securely using their iPads. Now, Biscom introduces an iPad app that supports access to a Biscom Secure Workspace. Now law firm personnel can work in a collaborative, secured workspace while traveling or away from the office without the worry of data breaches or violating privacy laws or government regulations.

Added Strength to Email Transmissions

Outlook emails now have an extra layer of protection thanks to the integration of the Biscom Secure File Transfer for Outlook and PayneGroup’s Outlook Send Assistant.  PayneGroup’s Outlook Send Assistant prevents accidental disclosure related to sending emails to unintended recipients. Combined with Biscom’s encrypted delivery that allows only authorized individuals to access communications, law firms now have unparalleled email security that reduces the risk of hidden metadata and accidental disclosure while securing the transfer of confidential email content.

“For law firms, the risk of the breach of confidential client data has never been greater,” said Charles Magliato, Biscom’s Legal Program Director. “Law firms face increasing threats of cyberattacks intent on stealing confidential information for competitive or political gain. This new mobile feature and partnerships with leading security businesses like PayneGroup solidify our commitment to delivering the most secure and comprehensive document exchange solutions to the legal industry.”

In addition to showcasing these features and partnerships at the ILTA Conference, Biscom will also host the First Annual Document Exchange Roundtable, a peer-driven session that will bring together legal IT experts who have faced the problem of secure document exchange. Conversation, which will focus on steps taken to beat this time- and efficiency-depleting problem,   will be led by Jim Goehrig, CIO of Wiley Rein, Frank Schipani, IT Director at Gilbert LLP and Ed Terry, Director of IT for Caplin & Drysdale.  Register to participate in the roundtable at http://blog.biscom.com/document-exchange-roundtable-augus....
