Through the Sookasa dashboard, businesses can effortlessly control and audit access to their sensitive data across users, devices and files. Sookasa provides a complete compliance "shield" around files by encrypting the files with bank-grade AES 256-bit encryption and using patent pending cloud-based key management to restrict access to authorized employees and partners. Sookasa allows us to use Dropbox for all of its great features while reducing our concerns about security and compliance." I like Sookasa because it is transparent to the user, and this is important because our staff greatly appreciates easy, non-intrusive software. Sookasa has been very reliable and seamless. "Sookasa allows us to use Dropbox while maintaining our HIPAA compliance. "Dropbox was a perfect solution for Engaged Health Solutions' staff of coaches and engagement managers that need to access and share personal healthcare information in remote locations on-the-go," said Nelson Bowers, Director of Operations, Engaged Health Solutions. Sookasa's Cloud Compliance Service has undergone extensive security and HIPAA audits by Praetorian, a leading security audit firm, which substantiated that Sookasa satisfies all HIPAA technical safeguard requirements 2. Sookasa is the first solution that effectively prevents these breaches and enables any business to use the new generation of cloud services and remain HIPAA and FERPA compliant. This has created a compliance time bomb that is affecting millions of businesses. The increased popularity of file sharing services such as Dropbox and Box combined with the explosion of mobile devices create significant new security challenges, since file sharing services synchronize thousands of files containing private information onto a large number of mobile devices and desktops. This ability makes KIPP more efficient through cutting-edge technology."Īccording to the Department of Healthcare and Human Services, most HIPAA breaches are due to lost or stolen devices and media containing Protected Health Information (PHI) 1.
Sookasa will enable us to utilize cloud storage to allow all employees of KIPP Houston to access our data from anywhere, on any device, universally synchronized, that is HIPAA compliant. We have employees of varying ranges of technical expertise so we wanted a HIPAA compliant tool that anyone could use. We moved to Dropbox because of its user friendliness and Sookasa offers that same benefit. "Sookasa's ease-of-use impressed us, and we wanted something that could easily and seamlessly integrate into Dropbox. See accompanying company launch announcement issued by Sookasa today at: "The combination of Dropbox and Sookasa allows us to take advantage of the unlimited space provided by Dropbox and the HIPAA compliance provided by Sookasa," said Son Han, Director of Accounting and Compliance at KIPP Houston Public Schools. With today's introduction, Sookasa also announced its formal company launch and latest round of funding led by Accel Partners. After a quick installation process, Sookasa users enjoy the natural user experience of their favorite cloud services without ever noticing their files are being encrypted and decrypted in the background. Sookasa controls and audits file accesses across devices and users according to HIPAA and FERPA standards. With Sookasa, files are encrypted anywhere they are placed, including on the cloud, mobile devices and desktops, and remain encrypted even when shared externally. With today's launch, for the first time, organizations have a self-service turnkey encryption and compliance solution that enables their employees to safely use their favorite mobile devices and cloud services. Current encryption solutions require heavy IT resources, restrict user freedom and significantly hurt user experience, and are therefore not suitable for smaller agile businesses. This creates a significant challenge in regulated industries such as healthcare, education, legal and finance because the loss of a single device that is connected to a cloud account can cause a catastrophic data breach and significant legal liability. Sookasa enables professionals to natively use their favorite cloud services, such as Dropbox and Gmail, and mobile devices, while transparently encrypting sensitive data and addressing regulations such as HIPAA and FERPA.Ĭloud services such as Dropbox, Box and Gmail scatter and duplicate files across multiple devices and shared folders.
SAN MATEO, CA-(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2014) - Sookasa, Inc., an innovator in compliance for popular cloud applications and mobile devices, today introduced Sookasa Cloud Compliance Service™, the industry's first Compliance as a Service™ solution that radically simplifies the protection of sensitive files across popular cloud services and mobile devices.
