Local DLP for law firms
Legal work runs on sensitive documents, and on the duty to protect them. FileSentinel finds client data and hidden metadata across your files, on your own machines.
Confidentiality by default
Protect client data without the cloud
Law firms handle some of the most sensitive data there is, under a duty of confidentiality. Sending client documents to a cloud DLP service to check them sits uneasily with that duty.
FileSentinel runs locally on each machine, finding client identifiers, financial data, and health information across documents, and surfacing the metadata that legal documents are notorious for carrying.
