State of North Carolina Selects WinMagic's SecureDoc to Protect Data

(Sept 05, 2007)-- WinMagic's SecureDoc full-disk encryption solution has met the State of North Carolina's RFP criteria pertaining to the protection of the sensitive, unclassified data residing on approximately 50,000 desktops, 13,000 laptops, and 1000 mobile devices deployed across its Agencies.

The blanket purchase agreement contract was awarded to WinMagic's authorized partner for products and service, Carolina Advanced Digital. While the contract is mandatory for government agencies, it will be offered as a convenience contract to the North Carolina University and Community College System, as well as the K-12 school system and local government agencies.

The State of North Carolina selected SecureDoc as it provided the flexibility to enable each Agency to provide and manage its own centralized key escrow for all equipment and/or enable the Office of Information Technology Services to centrally manage encryption products for consolidated Agencies. SecureDoc's ability to seamlessly integrate with more than one centralized management server also ensures Agencies can overcome network filtering, security protections, bandwidth limitations and support boundaries, particularly within large distributed agencies.

SecureDoc will also enable State of North Carolina's Agencies operating satellite offices in remote locations, to efficiently secure data over low bandwidth connections.

WinMagic's SecureDoc holds Certificate #1 issued by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and holds numerous accreditations, certifications, and awards including not only FIPS 140-2 Level 1, but Level 2, to the exclusion of our competitors. SecureDoc's FORTEZZA-based version is also the only disk encryption software certified by the NSA to safeguard U.S. government's "SECRET" level data.
