SafeData Helps Companies Comply with New Data Privacy Laws
Data Recovery Solution Offers the Required Encryption Technologies to Protect Personally Identifiable Information

Warwick, R.I. – April 7, 2010 – SafeData, LLC, a technology company focused on helping companies protect their data, minimize downtime and recover and restore data quickly, today announced that it is helping companies comply with the new state encryption laws. SafeData/DR (data recovery) provides the necessary encryption technology to properly protect personally identifiable information when it is lost or stolen.

Massachusetts and Nevada are the first two states to pass legislation, although many other states are expected to follow suit in the near future. The Nevada Electronic Transmission Encryption Law (NRS 597.970) prohibits any business within the state from electronically transferring (i.e. email, website) personally identifiable information outside of their secure system without it being encrypted. The Massachusetts Privacy Law (201 CMR 17.00) also requires the use of encryption when transmitting across public or wireless networks, as well as all information that is stored on laptops and other portable devices.

"You hear of too many data breaches involving personal information, such as customer or patient data. People don't realize how often their data is compromised each day, especially in the mobile world we now live in," explained Peter Briggs, president of SafeData. "These laws are essential steps to ensuring the protection of personally identifiable information and I believe more states will pass similar laws in months to come. Our SafeData/DR solution ensures that our clients' data is double encrypted and in compliance with these laws. Our clients can sleep well at night knowing that their data is not at risk of being lost or stolen and maliciously used."

SafeData/DR is a lower-cost alternative to data replication for companies with a recovery time objective of 10 hours or less. Leveraging the latest in electronic vaulting technologies, SafeData's service includes disk-to-disk backup and restoration capabilities. Its vaulting solution eliminates the potential for lost, damaged or obsolete tapes. It also offers anytime, anywhere secure access to files via a standard web browser. Furthermore, SafeData/DR's restoration capabilities enable clients to use their data whenever they need it.
