Secure Data Storage- Storage Security
Protect your cloud and on-premises storage with OPSWAT
Your stored enterprise data such as documents and images, can contain malware and vulnerabilities and may expose confidential or private information.
Employees may accidentally share documents with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or confidential content with unauthorized recipients which might be a violation of privacy laws and regulatory requirements under HIPAA, PCI-DSS and GDPR. This can result in significant fines and penalties and incalculable reputational loss.
- Can you trust every file exchanged and stored in your cloud services or local storage?
- Do you trust every file your employees share (internally and externally) is going to an authorized recipient?
- Are you operating an IT environment strictly compliant with regulatory requirements for data security and privacy?
Data storage solutions can spread malicious content instantaneously at the click of a button. Sensitive data can be stolen or transferred accidentally – resulting in potential compliance violations and fines.
While many organizations adopt numerous additional security solutions, managing and integrating them is costly and time consuming. Enterprises need a robust layer of protection for securing their data in the cloud and on-premises storage to meet regulatory requirements.
OPSWAT offers an easy, integrated approach to address all these issues.

How OPSWAT Secure Data Storage Can Help
Superior Malware Scanning
Many enterprises scan with only a single anti-malware engine. Industry best practices recommend scanning with as many engines as possible. OPSWAT scans every file with over 35+ anti-malware engines, resulting in detection rates exceeding 99%.
In-Depth Data Reconstruction
Malware can be hidden in innocuous files. Suspicious files should be sanitized before reaching the network and accessed by end users. OPSWAT Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR) technology sanitizes over 85+ common file types, outputting clean, usable files.
Sensitive Data Control
Forms and templates can be submitted to web portals with sensitive data. Accidentally included PII, like a social security number, may need to be redacted before consumption by the end user. OPSWAT’s Proactive Data Loss Prevention (Proactive DLP) redacts sensitive data, before it reaches the end user.
Low Overhead Implementation
To achieve comprehensive malware and data loss protection, many enterprises integrate multiple systems. OPSWAT gives enterprises powerful control over cybersecurity through a single platform. This results in a higher ROI, higher adoption, lower overhead, and fewer trained professionals needed to oversee complex systems.
How does OPSWAT minimize your compliance risk?
Regulatory requirements mandate the privacy and security of sensitive customer data.
- OPSWAT checks for any sensitive data that might be inadvertently exposed or maliciously targeted. Role based need to know access (including ‘read only’) minimizes violations of data privacy laws. Our products alert you to misuse, giving you visibility into suspicious or careless activity by your users. If this activity went undetected, it could put your organization at risk and result in significant regulatory fines and reputational loss.
- OPSWAT provides an advanced suite of technologies; including industry-leading Mutliscanning from 30+ anti-virus engines, Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction for sanitization of all files, and Proactive Data Loss Prevention to detect and block sensitive data; helps to meet and exceed the mandated regulatory requirements.

Risk of Non Compliance
According to PCI Compliance Blog https://www.pcicomplianceguide.org/faq/#15 the penalties for non-compliance:
The payment brands may, at their discretion, fine an acquiring bank $5,000 to $100,000 per month for PCI compliance violations. The banks will most likely pass this fine along until it eventually hits the merchant. Furthermore, the bank will also most likely either terminate your relationship or increase transaction fees. Penalties are not openly discussed nor widely publicized, but they can be catastrophic to a small business.

Risk of Non Compliance
There are two tiers of administrative fine for non-compliance with the GDPR:
- Up to €10 million, or, in the case of an undertaking, 2% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater
- Up to €20 million, or, in the case of an undertaking, 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater
Fines for GDPR breach are discretionary rather than mandatory. They must be imposed on a case-by-case basis and should be “effective, proportionate and dissuasive”.
