The Professional Services Industry
The Challenge<br />
With clients demanding more <strong>while</strong> seeking to reduce their professional spend, professional <strong>service</strong> firms<br />
are under added pressure to provide their <strong>service</strong>s more efficiently, often on the go. To help firms improve<br />
collaboration and reduce turn-around time, “cloud” solutions have become ubiquitous. These <strong>service</strong>s can<br />
be accessed from anywhere, at any time through the internet using a variety of devices.<br />
But use of cloud <strong>service</strong>s is not without risks; cyberattacks are increasing and firms are becoming more<br />
frequent targets. Professional ethical obligations governing client confidentiality, coupled with regulations<br />
such as HIPAA as well as new and increasingly stringent data privacy laws impose stiff penalties for noncompliance.<br />
And the consequences in the event that this data is accessed by hackers or other unauthorized<br />
parties can be devastating.<br />
Encryption and data privacy protection are no longer simply an option for the professional <strong>service</strong> firms;<br />
they are a requirement. The question is no longer “if” a breach will occur, but “when.” But for many<br />
firms, encryption and other protective measures are expensive and inefficient, necessitating expenditures<br />
for new software, downtime for installation and additional steps in every workflow to protect and then<br />
unlock private data.<br />
The Solution<br />
CloudMask’s simple, economical solution to confidentiality, security and data privacy problems inherent<br />
in the use of cloud applications eliminates<br />
these hassles. With CloudMask, you can<br />
provide <strong>cost</strong>-effective and timely <strong>service</strong> to<br />
your clients whether your firm is using<br />
universal platforms such as Google or Office<br />
365 for email, calendar, file and document<br />
<strong>service</strong>s, or you are using fully functioning<br />
management, time and billing programs<br />
operating over the internet. CloudMask can<br />
even be installed locally to work with your<br />
firm’s own private server. (Contact CloudMask for additional information about use with special<br />
applications or private servers).<br />
CloudMask automatically encrypts email, documents and attachments as you type or upload them to the<br />
Cloud. Your data is masked from the moment it is created, so it is secure both on your device and in the<br />
cloud. All information transmitted to or stored on any cloud-based server or platform is encrypted so it
can only be read by you, or by those you choose to provide with access to the information, using a private<br />
key. Even the cloud provider will be unable to read your data. And if the data is accessed by hackers or<br />
other unauthorized users, it will be unreadable and useless.<br />
CloudMask masks and encrypts your<br />
data at the time it is created so that it<br />
is secure both in the cloud and on<br />
premises. Even if hackers or other<br />
unauthorized parties gain access to<br />
the system or to your files, they won’t<br />
be able to view the data itself. With<br />
a smart, simple and invisible<br />
approach to key management, CloudMask provides protection for your data, even when a breach occurs.<br />
With a smart, simple and invisible approach to key management (see “CloudMask Encryption & Key<br />

their global clients that they do for their US clients.<br />
CloudMask’s certified security solution requires no additional software or cumbersome extra steps. It is<br />
installed quickly and easily as a browser extension so that you can use it with any device, anywhere.<br />
