Professional service firms are under pressure to improve collaboration and reduce costs while clients demand more. Cloud services provide accessibility but increase risks of cyberattacks and risks of violating privacy laws. CloudMask provides an economical solution to securely use cloud applications by automatically encrypting emails, documents and attachments as they are created, so data remains secure even if breached. Their certified security solution requires no extra software or steps, allowing firms to improve efficiency using cloud services while strengthening security and compliance.

1. Improve service while cutting cost
The Professional Services Industry

2. The Challenge
With clients demanding more while seeking to reduce their professional spend, professional service firms
are under added pressure to provide their services more efficiently, often on the go. To help firms improve
collaboration and reduce turn-around time, “cloud” solutions have become ubiquitous. These services can
be accessed from anywhere, at any time through the internet using a variety of devices.
But use of cloud services is not without risks; cyberattacks are increasing and firms are becoming more
frequent targets. Professional ethical obligations governing client confidentiality, coupled with regulations
such as HIPAA as well as new and increasingly stringent data privacy laws impose stiff penalties for non-
compliance. And the consequences in the event that this data is accessed by hackers or other unauthorized
parties can be devastating.
Encryption and data privacy protection are no longer simply an option for the professional service firms;
they are a requirement. The question is no longer “if” a breach will occur, but “when.” But for many
firms, encryption and other protective measures are expensive and inefficient, necessitating expenditures
for new software, downtime for installation and additional steps in every workflow to protect and then
unlock private data.
The Solution
CloudMask’s simple, economical solution to confidentiality, security and data privacy problems inherent
in the use of cloud applications eliminates
these hassles. With CloudMask, you can
provide cost-effective and timely service to
your clients whether your firm is using
universal platforms such as Google or Office
365 for email, calendar, file and document
services, or you are using fully functioning
management, time and billing programs
operating over the internet. CloudMask can
even be installed locally to work with your
firm’s own private server. (Contact CloudMask for additional information about use with special
applications or private servers).
CloudMask automatically encrypts email, documents and attachments as you type or upload them to the
Cloud. Your data is masked from the moment it is created, so it is secure both on your device and in the
cloud. All information transmitted to or stored on any cloud-based server or platform is encrypted so it

3. can only be read by you, or by those you choose to provide with access to the information, using a private
key. Even the cloud provider will be unable to read your data. And if the data is accessed by hackers or
other unauthorized users, it will be unreadable and useless.
CloudMask masks and encrypts your
data at the time it is created so that it
is secure both in the cloud and on
premises. Even if hackers or other
unauthorized parties gain access to
the system or to your files, they won’t
be able to view the data itself. With
a smart, simple and invisible
approach to key management, CloudMask provides protection for your data, even when a breach occurs.
With a smart, simple and invisible approach to key management (see “CloudMask Encryption & Key
Management”), CloudMask protects your data, even when a breach occurs. We bring the control of
