Critical Data Auditor

Detection of unsecured, sensitive data

Data protection is now a critical corporate governance issue in the boardroom. Recent high profile data leakage events have damaged reputations while rising legislative and standards requirements create imperatives for action in this area.

Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) programs can help to secure critical and sensitive data, but firstly you must locate & identify the information you need to protect. Critical Data Auditor™ by PixAlert is scanning software to rapidly locate critical information and discover risk on company networks.

“We took the PixAlert Discovery Audit and were shocked at the material found on our network which represented a real and urgent threat to our good name and staff welfare. We required a rapid audit with full removal. After going to tender, PixAlert was the only solution which met our requirements. After thorough removal of the image files, we deployed Auditor for periodic health checks on the network and we recently purchased the e-mail appliance for added protection at the gateway” IT Director at a state agency in Ireland
