Challenges
A former employee of a financial institution had sensitive customer documents on her phone, including names, addresses, account numbers, and investment information of high-profile clients. While improperly accessing the information, she was interviewing for a new job with competitors.
Solutions
FED-M lets you control who can access sensitive customer information on mobile devices. Persistent security policies protect sensitive files regardless of where they are, the device, or their format.
Benefits
FED-M controls access to customer information on mobile devices to meet consumer and data privacy and protection legislation. Users can securely share files, revoke access to shared files immediately, regardless of location, and track and manage user and file activities in real-time.
Challenges
Many companies need to protect their regulated data better. They typically protect the locations of files on mobile devices through an MDM solution rather than the file itself. As users share files and documents, this location or perimeter-based approach leaves the files vulnerable because the security does not travel with the document.
Solutions
FED-M controls access to sensitive files on mobile devices through a dynamic security policy to prevent unauthorized users from viewing the documents, regardless of their location. This data-centric approach strengthens the company’s document security since security policies are consistent across all devices, platforms, and storage locations. Fasoo also provides data visibility and lineage through a unique embedded ID that travels with the file. This is critical to meet data privacy needs since the company can establish a link between files as users copy them or generate derivatives.
Benefits
Switching from the perimeter-based security system to the Fasoo data-centric solution allows companies to protect and manage all their regulated data. Since so many employees access sensitive data on mobile devices, FED-M can help protect against violations of privacy regulations by limiting access to sensitive documents. Audit logs simplify requirements to prove compliance by showing who accesses what files and when.
Challenges
A manufacturer needs to protect its intellectual property as engineers and manufacturing employees access sensitive documents on tablets and phones. Its existing data security system focuses on protecting the locations of files on mobile devices rather than on the data itself.
Solutions
FED-M allows controlled access to encrypted sensitive files on mobile devices using a dynamic security policy to prevent unauthorized users from viewing the documents. This data-centric security solution strengthens the company’s document security since security policies are consistent across all devices, platforms, and storage locations.
Benefits
Changing from the perimeter-based security system of an MDM to the Fasoo data-centric solution allows the manufacturing company to protect all its intellectual property from misuse. Dynamic security policies limit access to sensitive files on tablets and phones as engineers and manufacturing employees view them. Since the policies travel with the files if a user accidentally or deliberately emails a file to an unauthorized user, the data inside the file is not accessible.

Learn how Fasoo mobile data and access management (MDAM) really protects sensitive data on mobile devices, including BYOD.
Fasoo Enterprise DRM for Mobile (FED-M) is a data security solution that safeguards data on mobile devices through access control, dynamic watermarks, and capture prevention.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a workplace policy that allows employees to use their personal devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, for work purposes. This approach can enhance flexibility and productivity by enabling employees to work from anywhere using devices they are already familiar with. However, BYOD also presents security risks, as personal devices may not have the same level of protection as corporate-issued hardware. Effective BYOD policies include measures such as strong password policies, encryption, mobile device management (MDM) and mobile data & access management (MDAM) solutions, and clear guidelines to ensure that sensitive corporate data remains secure.
Mobile Data and Access Management (MDAM) refers to the processes and technologies used to secure, manage, and control access to data on mobile devices within an organization. It ensures that sensitive information stored or transmitted through mobile devices is protected while also managing who has access to this data and under what circumstances. MDAM solutions often include features such as encryption, access control, remote wiping, and usage monitoring, enabling businesses to prevent unauthorized access and protect against data breaches. This is particularly important in environments where employees use their personal or company-issued mobile devices to access corporate data or applications.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) focuses on securing and managing mobile devices by enforcing policies on device configurations, password requirements, app installations, and network access. While MDM helps control device usage, it primarily limits security to the device itself, often making it difficult to ensure consistent protection of sensitive data across different environments or platforms. This can lead to restricted functionality and reduced user productivity, as employees may face limitations on the apps or devices they can use.
Mobile Data and Access Management (MDAM) takes a broader, more flexible approach by securing data itself and controlling access to it, regardless of the device being used. With MDAM, organizations can set granular permissions on who can access, edit, and share specific data, ensuring protection across mobile devices, cloud services, and collaboration platforms. Unlike MDM, MDAM allows employees to use their preferred devices without compromising security, offering better control over data access and minimizing risks associated with data loss, even if devices are compromised.
Mobile Application Management (MAM) is a security solution designed to manage and secure mobile applications on user devices. It focuses on controlling app usage, ensuring apps are installed, configured, and updated correctly. MAM allows organizations to enforce policies like app whitelisting or restricting app features such as copy-paste while also offering remote wipe capabilities in case of device compromise. However, MAM is limited to managing the apps themselves and doesn’t provide comprehensive control over the actual data within those apps or how it’s accessed.
Mobile Data & Access Management (MDAM), by contrast, focuses on securing the data across mobile environments, regardless of the application used. While MAM manages apps, MDAM ensures that sensitive data is protected, tracked, and controlled wherever it’s accessed—whether through apps, cloud platforms, or other mobile services. MDAM offers greater flexibility by controlling access at the data level and enforcing granular policies on who can view, share, or edit content. This makes MDAM a more robust solution for organizations that need tighter data security and access control across both apps and devices.
