Because sharing and collaboration have become essential to a productive workplace, Ponemon says the solution to mitigating the risks associated with sensitive documents and files is not to attempt to stop it, but rather to put solutions in place that keep sensitive documents and files secure without requiring draconian end-user security measures that stifle the productivity businesses want to encourage. He recommends organizations consider an approach that includes the following:

Identifying information that needs to be secure and protected at all times and enabling full control over every protected document

Preventing documents from being accidentally or maliciously forwarded

Accessing, sharing and controlling all important documents across the extended and mobile enterprise on any device

Allowing employees to access their documents on devices with an intuitive interface that displays documents on any screen
