Philosophy:
· Integrity
- the availability of the data as stored when needed.
· Security
-protection against outsiders doing to your files what you
or your hardware can do to the files in your worst moments.
Integrity is threatened by hardware failures, such as power blips that can corrupt files, or disk crashes that can destroy stored data, or senior moments that can delete the wrong file. It can also include provision for Security is also the prevention of sharing the confidential information on your files or in your communications with outsiders without your permission or knowledge.
It is hard to find anybody who has not seen the heartbreak of lost computer files, and in a business context the results may be catastrophic. Large computer systems have centralized servers to concentrate the file protection and backup services and dedicated systems for detecting and stopping system attacks. In the DocuShield System we duplicate these protections in an integrated unit designed for those applications where a computer or small group of computers require integrity and security but do not have an on-site computer department.
