Do you have any of these problems?
I want to find out if a retired employee has taken customer information or trade secrets out of the company.
A device loaned to a temporary employee has a history of suspicious operations, such as taking out documents and deleting logs.
The possibility that a retired employee may be involved in illegal activities has surfaced through the internal reporting system.
We want to manage retiree data properly, but we are not sure how to handle it.
We need to take appropriate action...
Without proper "data preservation," the company will be at a disadvantage in the event of suspected fraud by a retiree, as it will not be able to conduct a proper investigation or respond to a lawsuit. As a result, there is a risk of serious damage, such as loss of corporate credibility and claims for damages.
-
Know-how is leaked outside the company, resulting in reduced competitiveness and lost opportunities!
-
Personal information is leaked, and the victim claims compensation for damages!
-
Sued by the victim, resulting in a fine or imprisonment!
-
Social credibility is damaged, resulting in a decrease in profits!
Frequently Asked Questions about Data Integrity
Question 1: What is the difference from "in-house data storage"?
In-house data storage
Data integrity at FRONTEO
FRONTEO does not simply copy data, but performs "forensic copying" in accordance with international litigation standards. For example, in ordinary data copying, deleted data cannot be restored and copied, but"forensic copying"enables"complete duplication" including the history of deletion, making it possible to preserve data more effectively.
Question 2: Couldn't "data storage in the cloud" handle this?
In-house data storage
Data integrity at FRONTEO
Many companies that use cloud services or thin client services believe that their PC data is stored in the cloud. However, data storage in the cloud has an expiration date and may not be a "perfect duplicate," making it less useful as evidence.
FRONTEO's Data Preservation enables quick forensic investigations.
Other companies start by "gathering evidence"...
FRONTEO immediately began investigating!
With "Retiree PC and Mobile Preservation," a complete copy of the data is preserved within FRONTEO, so that when a suspicion of information leakage arises, forensic investigation can be started immediately without the need to prepare the data again. This is a big advantage in information leakage cases where a quick response is essential.
What are the routes of leakage of trade secrets?
According to the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA), "leakage by incumbent employees, etc. through mishandling or misidentification" was halved from 43.8% in 2016 to 21.2% in 2020, while "leakage by mid-career employees" increased from 28.6% to 36.3%. Fewer than half of the companies have confidentiality agreements in place for mid-career retirees and mid-career hires. Furthermore, 60% of the 25 companies in the Nikkei Index answered "don't know"²) in regard to their response when internal fraud is discovered. The survey results reveal that while internal fraud is on the rise, corporate awareness of preventive measures is low.
Fraud by retirees is occurring frequently in various industries. We need to take measures to prevent this from happening to ourselves, not to say, "My company is fine.
In recent years, there have been many cases of information leakage, taking out of trade secrets, and other irregularities by retired employees.
