SimplySecure 6.7 further broadens business’ device security capabilities by adding two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authentication app like Google Authenticator. Through SimplySecure, Beachhead customers can now utilize 2FA to secure access to company data from each employee-used device. The latest version of SimplySecure also introduces geofencing-based security capabilities.

Additionally, Beachhead has expanded its popular Compliancy Report feature of SimplySecure by extending it to include Macs and USB storage devices. Compliancy Report provides event-driven reports designed to demonstrate to auditors that rigorous security controls are in place on vulnerable or compromised hardware. By leveraging Compliancy Report, businesses get invaluable peace of mind by effectively proving regulatory compliance in the event of an audit following a security incident. SimplySecure now protects USB and Mac devices in this manner, providing detailed encryption, geolocation, and access control information. Even if a device is lost or stolen, businesses can easily prove to auditors that no data breach has occurred.
