Sophos SafeGuard is an encryption solution designed to protect data across multiple environments including endpoints, removable media, and cloud storage. The product provides centrally-managed full disk encryption using Windows BitLocker and Mac FileVault, leveraging native operating system encryption technologies. The solution offers file-level encryption where individual files remain encrypted when transferred to shared folders, USB drives, or cloud storage. Synchronized Encryption validates the user, application, and device security integrity before allowing access to encrypted data. SafeGuard Cloud Storage provides location-based encryption for files stored in cloud environments, encrypting local copies transparently while maintaining encryption when stored in the cloud. The Data Exchange component offers location-based encryption for removable media, enabling secure file exchange between users with appropriate decryption keys. All encryption and decryption processes run transparently with minimal user interaction. The SafeGuard Management Center provides centralized key management and recovery functions for the entire encryption infrastructure. Content is encrypted automatically upon creation, enabling secure collaboration without manual intervention.
