SMILE DATAGUARD
STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF DATA SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Protect your data transparently and tamper-proof - with SMILEdataguard.
Use blockchain technology to easily and securely log all changes to your CMDB.
SIMPLE, SECURE & TRACEABLE - SMILEDATAGUARD AT A GLANCE
Even system administrators with a huge permissions set are unable to make changes unnoticed. Changing the encryption of all blocks would only be possible with huge effort.
SMILEdataguard encrypts all activities in so-called hashes. Only with the correct key the data blocks produce a correct checksum. An undocumented change will be noticed immediately.
All changes are logged using data blocks. They make it possible to trace back all changes.
ENHANCED DATA PROTECTION
- ONE STEP AHEAD OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Regulatory authorities keep forcing to enhance data protection like:
tamper-proof storage
seamless traceability of changes
Almost every ITSM system on the market so far doesn’t meet these requirements. Often changes to the CMDB can’t be generated in a machine-readable way or easily can be manipulated by persons with administrative permissions. Furthermore, any deletion of data causes gaps in the data history. Traceability is therefore no longer given.
our solution:
Leading the way - with SMILEdataguard.
Thanks to state of the art technology not only meet all legal requirements, but also establish new security levels!
Only SMILEdataguard can do this for you:
more security through decentralized storage possible on request!
The best protection available - at your service
HOW SMILEDATAGUARD USES BLOCKCHAIN TO LOG YOUR DATA PROTECTION IN A TAMPER-PROOF MANNER:
Your chain of information
The blockchain forms a chain of information blocks which protect each other against unauthorized access (see following steps). SMILEdataguard translates every change to your CMDB into code and adds it to this chain.
Optional: High-quality encryption can be used as an add-on
The blocks are cryptographically encoded using strong encryption. As a result, short, meaningless character strings ("hashes") remain, which can only be decoded into comprehensible information with the correct key.
Enhance the chain with new information
If a new change is made, it is also encoded and the cryptographic code snippet (hash) is added to the chain. If a setting is undone, the old information will not be removed, instead the remove action added to the chain to keep all steps traceable.
Built-in verification
The data blocks are provided with checksums using a secure procedure (SHA-2). Every change to the data - no matter what – calculates a different checksum. If the checksum does not correspond to the hash code used, manipulation has occurred.
By the way, this also applies to the protection plans with enhanced encryption: Additional to the key which is able to decode all information into usable information ("private key"), it is possible for all parties involved to check the code for correctness at any time (so-called "public key").
Optional: Advanced security by storing data at different locations
For extra security, SMILEdataguard enables you to store your information on multiple servers. Any manipulation would therefore have to be done at all systems simultaneously - which is nearly impossible, especially with protected external servers.
This additional protection comes with SMILEdataguard PRO and SMILEdataguard PREMIUM.
