Protection

Binary File Shredding
When a file is "deleted", it is not really gone from your system. Hackers can still easily recover the original data. OfficeLock, however, shreds a deleted file by thoroughly wiping its binary data from the hard disk at the sector level, so it cannot be recovered. OfficeLock exceeds the U.S. Department of Defense mandated standards for secure file removal necessary to prevent unauthorized disclosure of classified information.


Risk-Free Temporary Files
Most Windows programs create temporary files which contain exact copies of your data. These temporary files are supposed to be deleted by the programs which create them. Hackers can easily recover this data, as they can with any deleted file. Because OfficeLock integrates seamlessly with the applications it protects, it automatically shreds temporary files so they can't be recovered.


Group Protection
How do you share files with co-workers and stay protected? OfficeLock allows the creation of protected groups, with each group containing any number of authorized members. Once you join a group, no further steps need be taken. OfficeLock automatically encrypts and decrypts group files for group members. And only group members can access files encrypted for the group. Members can always choose which files they want or don't want to share with the rest of the group.

An OfficeLock group can be comprised of senior management or partners, or it can be divisional, such as for Marketing, Finance or Human Resources. The OfficeLock group feature allows you to share encrypted files both over a network as well as via e-mail. You can therefore invite people from outside the network, such as vendors or consultants, to join specific groups.


Share Protected Files Among Multiple PCs
OfficeLock allows you to share protected files among multiple PCs, such as your laptop and desktop, or your office PC and your home PC. Using the special "Setup on Second PC" installation feature, both PCs can share the same encryption keys, allowing you to move files back and forth with no hassle.


Encrypting to Removable Media
OfficeLock allows you to encrypt and decrypt files to and from removable media, such as floppy or zip disks. Your data files can now be transported securely.


Automatic Log-Off
If you leave your computer for an extended period of time, OfficeLock will automatically log you off. This ensures that the prying eyes of unauthorized users cannot access your encrypted files. Automatic log-off can be set to occur after a period of keyboard/mouse inactivity ranging between one and sixty minutes.
