Government, defense and intelligence agencies – and the civilian companies that contract with them – are under intense scrutiny and pressure to comply with a lengthening list of legislative requirements and protocols designed to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest.

Working with ever-tighter budgets, these organizations must:

• Meet stringent data confidentiality, integrity, availability and authentication requirements for mobile employees, teleworkers and contractors.
• Comply with U.S. legislative requirements such as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), OMB M06-16 Mandate, Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) mandates, and Director of Central Intelligence Directive (CDID) 6/3.
• Show compliance with international data security requirements imposed by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security (CCEVS).
• Adhere to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) and CESG Assisted Products Service (CAPS) standards. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). is a publicly announced standardization developed by the United States federal government for use in computer systems by all non-military government agencies and by government contractors, when properly invoked and tailored on a contract. CAPS (CESG Assisted Products Service) is a certification scheme exclusive to the UK Government market. CAPS offers Government and MoD users the assurance their security products have been tested to the highest standards.
• Meet state data security mandates.

THE PRICE OF NON-COMPLIANCE
For agencies, the price of non-compliance can range from a loss of public trust and more intense oversight to costly class-action lawsuits. For the thousands of civilian companies whose business relies on working with government agencies at all levels, non-compliance could disqualify them from bidding on government contracts.
That means agencies and contractors with mobile employees carry enormous responsibility for securing data, identities and applications. To operate efficiently in an increasingly mobile world, they must give authorized users anytime access to sensitive data without compromising user identities, core applications or protected networks. To comply with data security requirements, they must be able to monitor and track data access and use no matter where employees carry it – and then document that activity in audits and reports. Meanwhile, organizations are also expected to keep mobile workers productive when severe weather, infrastructure failures or other disasters threaten their ability to do their jobs.
