Dataloss Prevention

Most would agree that here in New Zealand we need to lift our game when it comes to properly managing confidential information. And it's not just large government agencies that have to worry about this - its across the board: health professionals, lawyers, educational institutions, and even general businesses. Almost every organisation creates at least some emails and documents that should not be made public or given to the wrong people.

This is going to even more important with mandatory breach notifications coming into the new 2020 Privacy Act.

SSS have over 15 years experience in the field of data loss prevention and we have a range of tools and services that will help you to reduce the risk of data loss by identifying, isolating, classifying, and securing your sensitive data.

Through all this experience we have selected a range of technologies and have built a variety of services. You can read more about our solutions in the sections below.

Data Classification
Classifying information is the simplest and most valuable information security activity that an organisation can undertake.
Classifying information is the simplest and most valuable information security activity that an organisation can undertake. Strangely, and possibly because it is based on traditional (paper) methods, the technique is not as valued as it should be. Classifying emails, or classifying documents - it offers several immediate benefits:
- It is easy to do.
- It is a concept that is intrinsically understood.
- It provides meaning and relevance to information.
- It constantly reaffirms the relevance of Information Security and raises security awareness.
- It invokes a simple (but effective) security culture.
The Janusseal products from Janusnet ensure that every email and document is classified when sent/saved - each one has a "tag" your security systems can recognise.
The Janusseal products convert your existing systems into functional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, delivering protection from accidental data loss, one of the major reason for incidents, at a fraction of the cost of other forms of DLP.
Contact us on 04 917 6670 or sales@sss.co.nz if you would like to know more about how Janusnet can help you protect your information from accidental data loss.

Gain control over your information
- Identify - Identifying sensitive information may be achieved by running a discovery or identifying at source, to distinguish between public, personal and proprietary information.
- Classify - Once identified, information can be classified according to its sensitivity, which can be an automated process or based on human understanding. Assigning a security classification label is quick and easy, resulting in both visible and embedded classification.
- Control - It’s now easier than ever to control access to sensitive information, encrypt as required, and run efficient data loss prevention processes that leverage your security classification labels.
Empower your people to enhance security
- A visible classification on an email or document instantly alerts users to the sensitivity of the information they are dealing with.
- Classified information is far easier to control.
- Empower your users by providing them with simple-to-use tools that allow them to classify sensitive information and to help you proactively improve information security.
Range of products
- Janusseal for Outlook - Reduce the risk of information leakage with email classification

SSL / TLS Certificates
SSL/TLS certificates are an essential component of the data encryption process that make internet transactions secure. They are digital passports that provide authentication to protect the confidentiality and integrity of website communication with browsers.
Organisational Validated (OV) SSL / TLS
- OV certificates provide high assurance and verified site identity. Extensive validation checks are performed before certificates are issued.
- OV are considered best practice for securing website transactions and are backed by rigorous verification practices and checks. This certificate type proves website authenticity, assuring visitors that you are serious about the protection of their information.
Extended Validated (EV) SSL / TLS
- EV certiﬁcates provide the highest assurance online, backed by the strongest level of veriﬁed identity which adds additional layers of security to your site.
- EV is used by major anti-phishing services to determine safe websites, and is treated as more trustworthy by browser ﬁlters.
- Organisations that implement EV are well positioned for forthcoming regulations in the EU that put identity at the forefront of digital security.
- EV certiﬁcates are the most trusted and secure SSL/TLS solution that is actively used by the world's leading online businesses. The most extensive validation method is used to verify the sites identity providing high assurance as well as data encryption for your organisation's networks, websites and domains.

SecureIT
SecureIT® is SSS's own email solution that gives you transparent and easy-to-use policy based S/MIME signing and encryption of e-mail at the gateway.
SecureIT® works as a stand-alone SMTP relay and ensures that:
- Message content remains confidential during transmission over the public network.
- Recipients can be certain about the authenticity and integrity of messages they receive.
- Control and management of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) necessary for this process is maintained at a single point PMDF.
Encryption provides privacy for content as it passes across the public network. Digital signatures provide proof that a message is from who it appears to be from and that it has not been tampered with during transmission. But these processes can create some problems.
SecureIT® helps you solve:
- exposure to content threats
- orphaned data that can't be decrypted
- unauthorised transfer of confidential information
- the complexity of managing and synchronising all the public and private keys necessary to run the process.

Contact us on 04 917 6670 or sales@sss.co.nz if you would like to know more about our how Sophos Intercept X can help protect your endpoints.

Sophos Intercept X
Sophos Intercept X employs a comprehensive defence-in-depth approach to endpoint protection rather than simply relying on one primary security technique.
- Modern techniques include deep learning malware detection, exploit prevention, and anti-ransomware specific features.
- Foundational techniques include signature-based malware detection, behaviour analysis, malicious traffic detection, device control, application control, web filtering, data loss prevention, and more.
Deep Learning Malware Detection
The artificial intelligence built into Intercept X is a deep learning neural network, an advanced form of machine learning that detects both known and unknown malware without relying on signatures.
Stop the Exploit, Stop the Attack
Exploit prevention denies attackers by blocking the exploit tools and techniques used to distribute malware, steal credentials, and escape detection. This allows Sophos to ward off evasive hackers and zero-day attacks in your network.
Proven Ransomware Protection
Intercept X uses behavioral analysis to stop never-before-seen ransomware and boot-record attacks, making it the most advanced anti-ransomware technology available. Even if trusted files or processes are abused or hijacked, CryptoGuard will stop and revert them without any interaction from users or IT support personnel. CryptoGuard works silently at the file system level, keeping track of remote computers and local processes that attempt to modify your documents and other files.
