Next Generation Compliance Solutions

For email administrators working to ensure regulatory compliance, IronPort's email security appliances provide a powerful and flexible infrastructure for policy enforcement. The IronPort appliances protect internal servers from attacks, and enable organizations to comply with HIPAA, GLB, SOX, and other regulatory compliance laws by applying filtering, encryption, and archiving policies on incoming and/or outgoing messages.

Accurately and easily secure your outbound email

IronPort's Compliance Filters ・Simple and Effective

The IronPort Compliance Filters™ use a unique multi-category pattern-matching algorithm to significantly reduce false positives. For example, HIPAA does not require a message to be blocked simply because it contains a medical condition or drug code. However, if the message correlates this medical information to a particular individual, then there is enough evidence to block this message or take some other remedial action. In addition to accurately identifying confidential information, the lightweight IronPort Compliance Filters scan emails very quickly, ensuring that there is no delay in email communications. The same IronPort appliance that handles outgoing email delivery can perform all email filtering operations.

IronPort's email security appliances integrate these critical features to offer customers a turnkey solution for email compliance:

  • Comprehensive Policy Management - Manage all content security policies using a single GUI dashboard.
  • Workflow Integration - Easily implement remediation policies with customizable notifications and role-based access for compliance quarantines.
  • Centralized Reporting and Logging - Generate reports for unprecedented mail flow visibility. Instantly track messages for compliance audits.
  • Email Encryption - High-performance TLS encryption for business partner communication. Integration with best-of-breed vendors like PostX for flexible deployment options.

Protection of sensitive information and verification of user identity

Industry leading encryption technology enables IronPort users to comply with regulatory requirements related to the securing of health and financial information. IronPort's secure email delivery solution seamlessly encrypts, decrypts, and digitally signs confidential email messages. IronPort's integration with encryption partners (Authentica, PGP Corporation, PostX, and Sigaba) provides a unified solution for enforcing granular encryption policies, and guarantees message signing (sender and recipient verification) and integrity while protecting messages stored on servers.

Content scanning and filtering for email policy enforcement

Content scanning enables organizations to effectively monitor messages for sensitive information. The IronPort content scanning engine contains pre-defined content filters for HIPAA, GLB, and other regulations. The engine automatically scans email for protected financial and health information and its easily extensible lexicons allow administrators to customize these rules to meet specific requirements. IronPort's content scanning engine filters messages based on message or attachment content, subject, sender, recipient, message headers, or message body.

Archiving

To ensure messages are properly preserved, indexed, and accessible, archiving is a critical component of the vast majority of compliance programs. Through the use of open standards, and partnerships with leading vendors such as Veritas, IronPort helps users ensure email records are secured and stored properly.

Enterprise management tools including monitoring and reporting

To support policy management and auditability, IronPort Email Security Monitor™ and Mail Flow Central™ provide complete real-time visibility into email traffic. Detailed logs and reports identify messages that trigger specific policy rules and track the actions taken on these messages. Additionally, this information is maintained under change control, which provides the kind of auditability called for in email related regulations.
