Techspeed Launches New Data Security Technology

(January 22, 2010) - ImageFracture, software that provides what the company says is 100 percent data security by manipulating images of documents containing sensitive information has been launched by Techspeed Inc., a small IT firm in Portland, Ore. ImageFracture extends this security to include third-parties, enforcing its presence as a provider of comprehensive security solutions. Personal information is compromised by data breaches, theft, unintended exposure, and even blackmail. In recent years, hundreds of millions of personal records have been targeted and tampered with. Fully 60 percent of these breaches have been due to insecure third-party involvement, says Techspeed, which claims ImageFracture is the only software on the market that can guarantee immunity from third-party security risks when document images are provided.

Documents such as medical records and bank statements contain various pieces of sensitive information, such as account numbers, full names, addresses, and credit card numbers. This information can be misused when viewed together. However, by separating (fracturing) the document as an image, they become meaningless pieces of data.

For example, a credit card with the number 5424 9458 4051 2146 can be cut into two unique images, 5424 945 and 8 4051 2146. The application then assigns the two images separate names so they are not associated with one another. These separated files can then be supplied to third-party vendors without the risk of a security breach. At any point in time, an authorized person can consolidate the images by entering a secure pass code. This is also useful for storing images and their data content to prevent in-house data theft or hackers.

ImageFracture allows you to create a template using one sample page. This template is used to select the areas you want to separate, block, or hide (like separating a jigsaw puzzle), and can be applied to millions of like pages. The images can be sent to a third party, such as a data entry service provider, through an SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) within the application. The completed data can then be sent back to the sender and consolidated, like solving a jigsaw puzzle. All functions of the application can be secured with a pass code.

ImageFracture is set up to generate completion reports on all in-coming and out-going data for your convenience. Using ImageFracture data security technology will make it unnecessary to audit vendor's security policies by ensuring compliance with HIPPA, PCI DSS, SOX, and GLBA requirements, says Techspeed. Users can safely send financial, medical, and legal information and be in control of their security.
