3BClean prevents confidential information leaking out of an organisation by removing metadata, the hidden information stored behind the visible content of a document, such as tracked changes, authors and time stamps.
As a server based system with flexible policy management, this enables a practical and consistent service level across today's increasingly mobile enterprise. It supports any email client or server, such as Blackberry, Palm, PDA, iPhone and Webmail.
The system
is easy to deploy, and as an automated metadata removal solution this simplifies
the management overhead and reduces operational costs. It has well documented
APIs which assist integration into Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems, and Document
and Content Management Systems.
The 3BClean metadata removal solution provides the following features and benefits:
- Wide service spectrum - supports any email client and email server (Blackberry, PDA, iPhone and Webmail)
- Multiple format support - includes MS Office, OpenDocument Format and PDF
- Automated system with low operational costs - metadata is removed automatically according to centrally set rules. No User training is required, or ongoing technical support which substantially reduces the application lifecycle costs.
- Reduced risk of leakage - no User intervention is required, which ensures a consistent service level, and reduces the risks of inadvertent data leakage.
- Improved User experience – the automated system provides a service that is transparent to the User, and works reliably, out of sight, on the company network. Removing metadata from documents is a processor intensive application for desktop or laptop computers, which can cause users issues, and severely degrade employee productivity. Transferring this processing to the network or via SaaS is therefore especially important for organisations that send large quantities of documents via email.
- Ease of Integration – well documented APIs enable ease of integration into Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems and Document and Content Management Systems.
- Conversion to Secure PDF – option to generate a secured PDF prior to final document distribution.
Document Conversion and Security
In addition to providing scrubbing of metadata from documents, 3BClean can provide document conversion to and from various formats on the fly, or in batches, including Microsoft® Office®, OpenDocument Format and PDF.
PDFs can be created with security set and, optionally, a watermark applied.
Integration
The
platform underlying 3BClean provides a framework for intelligent document conversion.
It is designed for integration into web servers, enterprise content management
systems and other business systems.
