Security Business Requirements

Businesses today are constantly creating new ways to use information. IT professionals have the demanding task of
protecting that information from new ways of abuse. The most successful strategy for protecting this information is by
implementing best practices for user authorization and to use devices that provide a high level of security.
Samsung MFP devices employ high levels of security to meet or exceed today's business security requirements. We are
also working with our business customers to continuously improve our MFP security features.
3.1 Public Sector (Government / Education / Healthcare)
Security Requirements
Public sector entities have very specialized security needs. The military must be able to protect sensitive information from
foreign interests. Schools need to be able to protect the integrity of their student's grades. Healthcare systems must
protect the privacy of their patients.
3.1.1

Government

U.S. government requirements include hard drive overwriting schemes that digitally shred the latent document
information from the hard drive of a device. When devices with hard drives are removed from secure sites, the hard drives
must be removed and physically destroyed.
Regulatory requirements that require these practices include the following:
•
FISMA
This regulation requires a mandatory set of processes that must be followed for all information systems used or
operated by a U.S. federal government agency.
•
HSPD-12
A common identification standard used to ensure that government facilities and sensitive information stored in
networks remain protected.
