Manages and examines newly created and current accounts in order to discover identity theft as early as possible
Guarantees personal data privacy, confidentiality and responsible use of customer nonpublic information and PHI (Protected Health Information)
Shapes behavior of users accessing and processing personal data and detects any discrepancy or deviation
Ensures data privacy, excludes risks concerning legal issues during personal data collection, analysis and storage
Personal data
Personal data – such information as names, dates, addresses, credit card numbers, etc. – is structured data. Automated recognition of such data is fast, structured information is easily searched and managed. As this type of information is stored in databases, it is clear that most of the personal data is a target for indexing and malicious manipulation.

What can be done?
SearchInform product provides your personal data with 3 levels of information protection
Level 1 
FileAuditor
FileAuditor allows you to see the processes in a file system and monitor operations on your documents. The DCAP solution audits information storages automatically for data criticality classification and assessment of changes made to files. FileAuditor will let you know where your critical information resides and will make shadow copies of sensitive files saving the history of their revisions. Critical documents archiving ensures that the lost data is recovered. The software simplifies personal data protection processes as it monitors open resources, files available to a specific user or group and privileged accounts. The solution audits operations on documents in a file system and reports any change made to them, such as creating, editing, moving, deleting.
Level 2 DLP
A DLP system controls information at the level of data transfer and communication channels protecting personal data, sensitive details from leaking outside a network perimeter. The software safeguards confidential information and prevents breaches during storage, usage and transit. It can encrypt data to make it unreadable on any external unauthorized device. The software ensures that remote access is safe and conforms to internal regulations. Information sent via messengers, including Skype or desktop version of popular IM, social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), corporate email, uploaded to flash drives or printed is controlled and analyzed. The system reports irregular and suspicious events, such as data copying by an unauthorized user or sending files to a large number of email addresses.
Level 3 Risk Monitor
Risk Monitor provides you with instruments for internal threat mitigation combining investigation capabilities and tools for creating risk management and compliance program. Its mix of predictive and inquisitive analytics allows you to learn about malicious activities and points out sources and purposes which might cause a data leak. Even if a breach occurs, an investigation should be launched. The system responsible for internal threat mitigation comprises an extended range of search and detection techniques. The solution facilitates incident investigation, identifying all those involved, revealing reasons for and ways of exposure. The software shapes an intelligent risk management program by altering policies and enhancing its mechanisms. It processes incidents, memorizes details and correlations so that similar threats would be recognized and neutralized.
