Brainloop White Paper Looks at Secure Document Sharing Ensuring Security Doesnt Interfere with Productivity.

Boston, MA, Thursday - August 25, 2011 -- Secure document sharing must reduce ri sk, remain in compliance with security mandates and ensure adherence with govern ance policy. Document sharing must do all this without puttingan additional burd en on those sharing and using the documents, notes a new white paper published t oday by Brainloop ( http://www.brainloop.com ), a leading supplier of software s olutions for high-security collaboration on confidential documents. Titled "Enterprise Information Management Security Options," the paper advocates that for any document sharing application to genuinely add value, it must augme nt or complement the organizations existing document security infrastructure. Organizationally, document sharing requirements ought to fit within existing bus iness processes. For example, the application should be flexible enough to work as part of several processes used across the enterprise. In particular, security policies should also govern and control not only the confidentiality of the doc ument itself, but the ability to maintain protections once the document moves ou tside the enterprise. When the document is used outside the perimeter, its imperative to apply rights m anagement, which is key for protecting the document by controlling the users abil ity to print, save, or forward the document. Another factor to consider is the a bility to limit the time a document is viewable. In addition, security policies, including access rights and encryption, must be associated with the document itself so that protection can be maintained regardl ess of where the document travels and who gains access. The paper outlines several best practices for secure document sharing, listing e nd-user elements such as versioning, usage tracking, discussions, and the abilit y to apply comments and annotations all of which facilitate collaboration.
