Cipherpoint cp.Protect

What is cp.Protect?

cp.Protect is a suite of integrated data security and privacy compliance solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, SharePoint Online, OneDrive and Windows File servers. cp.Protect provides transparent file and list encryption, centralised permissions management, and granular activity logging for sensitive and regulated data in Microsoft unstructured data repositories. cp.Protect is unique in its ability to control and restrict privileged users (e.g. Farm administrators, Site Collection Administrators, Database Administrations, etc.) access to data.

How does it work?

cp.Protect includes a centralised security server for policy administration & automated encryption key management and an agent that enforces these security policies for information sitting on File servers, SharePoint (On-prem and Online), and OneDrive. The solution is totally transparent to end users and does not require deployment of software to user devices. As users upload information to a location secured by cp.Protect, that information is immediately and transparently encrypted and remains encrypted in use, in flight, and at rest. This means Sharepoint data is encrypted before it is stored in the database which means any information stored in backups is also encrypted, preventing even database administrators from seeing sensitive information. Only users authorised by the centrally managed cp.Protect security policies may view unencrypted content.
