Print Security

Empower your print security

Overview

Stop data breaches through printouts.

Add visible watermarks to printed documents and trace printouts to the source with extensive content logging. A predefined policy can block printing if it detects sensitive information in a document or mask sensitive content if you choose to print. Control and trace printed documents on your existing printers and MFPs, including home printers, so you can continue to use your current output devices.

Key Features

Context-aware Print Control

Block printing and apply data masking to detected sensitive information based on patterns and keywords.

Apply Dynamic Watermarks for Print Security

Prevent data breaches through printouts by applying dynamic watermarks, including user name, IP address, printed time, user ID, and company information, to trace them to their source.

Comprehensive Audit Trail

Monitor all printing activity, including text and an image of what users printed, to prevent data breaches and to provide a chain of custody for privacy and security.

Protect IP with Secure Printouts

Printing sensitive data to a PDF or printer and inadvertently or intentionally sharing it with unauthorized people could subject your business to regulatory fines, lost business, and litigation. If an employee printed personally identifiable information (PII) and forgot to pick it up at the printer, anyone could come by and grab it. Fasoo Smart Print can mask sensitive data, block printing, and apply dynamic watermarks to track usage when users need to print sensitive content. This applies to printing to PDF, image, or paper.

Use Cases

Stop data breaches through printouts

Stop confidential data theft through paper printouts

Challenges

A medical center employee in New York stole names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, next of kin information, and health insurance details of more than 12,000 patients and used those identities to purchase clothing and other merchandise from some of New York’s finest department stores. The employee printed thousands of patients’ records daily and sold them for $3 per copy to outside accomplices.

  • The hospital could not prevent or control this activity.
  • The employee and her accomplices were arrested, but the hospital may face charges for violating HIPAA and patient privacy laws.
  • In healthcare, you must protect printed PHI and other sensitive information from easily leaving your premises.

Solutions

Fasoo can block printing or require approval before printing a document if the document contains sensitive information.

  • Each printout contains a visible watermark showing who printed it, including the company logo, user name, IP address, time, date, and other identifying information.
  • This lets you know the source of a potential data breach and deters people from inappropriate behavior when handling sensitive patient information.
  • The print security solution works with any physical or virtual printer, eliminating problems caused by using different printers or printer drivers.
  • A complete audit trail of all print activities, including the text or image of the printed content, ensures full control of your printing environment.
  • This reduces your risk of exposing patient information.

Benefits

FSP restricts printing documents with PHI or other sensitive information and requires authentication before retrieving a printout. It applies a dynamic watermark to printouts without user intervention. FSP also allows the admin to trace and manage printing activities, including the actual content of documents in text or image format. It also controls printouts with automatic data masking and pull-printing and limits printing to virtual printers.

Challenges

An employee of the Children’s Medical Clinics with a retaliatory agenda to cause damage to the clinic’s reputation stole and improperly disclosed 16,000 patient records. Notification letters were sent to affected people to inform them that an employee took paper records from the facility and sent screenshots of electronic patient records to a former clinic employee.

  • The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) health data breach portal indicates that patient names, dates of birth, diagnostic information, and treatment information were disclosed.
  • Your employees access sensitive and confidential patient information daily so they can do their jobs.
  • Without persistent data-centric security, they can devise creative ways to defeat traditional perimeter-based security measures.
  • They can change the name of a sensitive file before printing it to avoid detection by security systems or make screen captures of sensitive information.
  • In healthcare, you must protect printed PHI and other sensitive information from easily leaving your premises.

Solutions

Fasoo can block printing or require approval before printing a document if the document contains sensitive information.

  • Each printout can be forced to contain a visible watermark showing who printed it, including the company logo, user name, IP address, time, date, and other identifying information.
  • This lets you know the source of a potential data breach and deters people from inappropriate behavior when handling sensitive patient information.
  • This solution works with any physical or virtual printer, eliminating the problem of using different printers or printer drivers.
  • A complete audit trail of all print activities, including the text or image of the printed content, ensures full control of your printing environment.
  • In addition, Fasoo can prevent screen captures. These features reduce the risk of exposing patient information.
