Metadata Cleaning Has Evolved
Metadata cleaning has evolved – now you can detect risk and prevent data loss
Workshare has evolved the understanding of metadata to create a Data Loss Monitoring solution specifically for the legal industry. A firm’s IT and risk functions can protect files shared across the business and use this data to understand if a data loss event or ethical wall breach may have occurred.

Workshare Secure enables firms to prevent data loss by monitoring and protecting its entire mail flow. It detects potential risks in terms of sensitive data held in files and flags unusual sharing behaviour. Depending on the rules that are set, appropriate action is automatically taken to ensure data is never sent to the wrong people.
Security That Won’t Hold You Up
Cleaning documents of metadata is instantaneous with Workshare Protect. The solution is ultrafast and cleans files shared via email or a DMS in less than a second – that’s from the desktop or on a mobile.
Now it’s also possible to guard against accidental or malicious sharing of matter files. Workshare Secure can identify which matter a file belongs to and ensure the appropriate outside counsel distribution guidelines are enforced before sharing takes place. This is pre-set and invisible to users, so it doesn’t slow them down.
Security Everywhere
Workshare Secure operates when your files are at their most vulnerable i.e. before they are shared with a third party. Files are protected when they are attached to email or uploaded to cloud file sharing sites, on the desktop or via a mobile device.
Identify Risk and Manage Exposure
Now, it’s easier to demonstrate control for outside counsel guidelines. In addition to applying policy, you can monitor sharing activity to identify anomalous user behaviour. Workshare provides user reports to flag unintentional and unauthorized sharing on any channel. The reporting and analytics can be combined into any BI or Risk Reporting tool alongside your other threat management and risk reporting solutions.
Centralized Threat Protection
Workshare’s intelligent rules engine looks for security markers and other information added to files by existing control solutions, like your Document Management System. There’s no need to change user behavior or manage policy in multiple places.

Key Features
1
Automatic metadata cleaning
Without disrupting your workflow, documents can be cleaned of sensitive metadata before they’re shared. Your firm’s security policies can be applied to different sharing platforms, and in the blink of an eye any sensitive content is removed, protecting your files and your reputation.
2
File protection everywhere
Integrated with Outlook, a DMS or other sharing platforms, Workshare can automatically scan files for sensitive metadata and quickly remove it before sharing occurs. Regardless of the device being used, hidden metadata can be detected and cleaned, reducing both compliance and commercial risks.
3
Data loss monitoring
Risk Analytics has been developed in conjunction with an advisory group of leaders in the legal industry. It enables you to analyze your firm’s entire mail flow and identify any breaches of policy or firm-specific guidelines in files being shared or uploaded. The Risk Analytics feature set builds on Workshare´s metadata cleaning technology and shares the same performance benefits to minimize disruption to the end user.
4
Comply with policy & guidelines
Information Security teams can report, monitor and control distribution of sensitive matter files. Every file shared is scanned, and the recipient and destination checked against policy to ensure compliance with your outside counsel guidelines. This is the first solution configured specifically for legal teams and sensitive enough to monitor the content being exchanged.
