Innovative document and device protection helps ensure confidentiality.
To help protect your data, the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series offers several layers of security, making Sharp the optimum choice to protect employee privacy and intellectual property. As the leader in office equipment security, Sharp makes it easy for virtually any business or government entity to safely deploy digital copying, printing, scanning and faxing.
Authority Groups and Access Control
Advanced account management enables administrators to set authority groups for access to features of the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series. Administrators can control which department, for instance, has full access to copying, printing, scanning and/or fax. Walk up users enter a code, Local Name and Password, or LDAP User Authentication to access their features assigned to their group. Users can also login utilizing a human interface device (HID) such as a Smartcard or Common Access Card (CAC).*
Data Erase and Encryption*
To help protect your data, the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series offers an optional data
security kit that encrypts document data using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 256-bit encryption. Additionally, the data security kit erases the temporary memory on the hard drive by
overwriting the encrypted data up to seven times, offering an unprecedented level of assurance. Additionally, the data security kits for these models comply to the new IEEE-2600 -2008 security standard for MFP devices. This new standard specifies security requirements and provides a new international reference to assess contemporary MFP security.
Network Scanning Access
To help protect your network from unauthorized e-mail communications, the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series supports User Authentication, requiring users to login before performing any
network scanning operations.
Control Device Access Over the Network
To help restrict access to the device over the network, the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series offers IPsec, SMB and extended support for SSL Encryption (Secure Sockets Layer), IP/MAC address filtering, IEEE 802.1x authentication, Common Access Card (CAC) support, protocol
enable/disable and port management for maximum security.
Documents Remain Confidential
To help protect your printed documents from unauthorized viewing, the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series offers encrypted PDF files for printing and scanning as well as Confidential Printing that requires users to enter a PIN code or use their Access Card in order to print a queued document. Additionally, Secure Fax Release ensures received fax documents are held in memory
until an authorized user enters a PIN code, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations such as HIPAA is easier.
Tracking and Auditing Information
Legislation and industry policies require companies to be more aware of information flow from their offices. Sharp offers both built-in and additional hardware/software which allows users to control, access and track usage of each device on the network.
These scalable security offerings aim to protect your intellectual property, preserve confidential information and help your business to meet regulatory requirements, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB).
