As more and more law firm CIOs and IT professionals struggle to protect confidential information from unauthorized access, PayneGroup and Biscom have launched a solution that promises an increased level of protection for client documents and data.

The companies have integrated PayneGroup’s metadata cleaning and Biscom’s secure document delivery technologies to interoperate in a Microsoft Outlook environment.

With this integration, PayneGroup’s Metadata Assistant will clean email attachments of harmful hidden metadata and Biscom Secure File Transfer will redirect the email as a secured, encrypted delivery.

“The protection of confidential client data demands that every precaution be taken with document delivery. Not only does the delivery need to be encrypted from unauthorised access and delivered to only designated individuals, it also needs to be clean of metadata prior to that delivery.

“PayneGroup’s Metadata Assistant connects directly with Biscom’s Outlook add-on to ensure maximum security with a minimal effect on work habits and productivity,” said Charles Magliato, Legal Program Director for Biscom.
