If it doesn't address the above requirements, then perhaps it is not the solution you need to secure your organization's confidential information against Digital Leakage.

Digital Leakage Solutions Improve BS7799 Compliance Information security begins with a policy, and effective security policies must be straightforward to communicate, understand and enforce - otherwise they will be either ignored or subverted.This section establishes that implementation of a solution to counter Digital Leakage also brings tremendous scope of improved security policy compliance. With a Digital Leakage solution, sensitive documents are classified with usage contexts that stay in force wherever the documents go. Usage Contexts or classifications under a good Digital Leakage solution are extremely granular. The context defines who owns the document, to whom the document is sensitive and therefore who can use the document, and how.These contexts once applied are enforced on documents, whether centralized or distributed. Unauthorized usage of sensitive intellectual property can therefore be completely eliminated.

Therefore implementing such a solution:

Relieves the organizations to communicate appropriate use policies of critical digital documents to its people, on an ongoing basis. Relieves its people from the responsibility to ensure they are complying with these policies in principle and in action, on an ongoing basis. Implements asset classification policies on digital assets and enforce complete usage compliance and precludes any sort of non-adherence to document usage policies as per its classification.

This end result maps directly with compliance goals expostulated in standards such as BS 7799 with regard to asset classification and control, whereby information assets must receive protection appropriate to their classification and irrespective of where the documents reside or go. Implementing such a solution may hold relevance to organizations and industry segments where policy compliance and certifications are a necessity, as these solutions render greatest possible policy compliance and enforcement on centralized and distributed document assets.
