    Support Regulatory Compliance

    Banks and financial institutions handle large quantities of customers’ money and personal and financial information. Most of them operate in different jurisdictions, each with its own reporting standard, which makes reporting and compliance management tough for this industry.

    Sophos Central provides flexible reporting tools that allow visualization of network activity and security over time. It offers several built-in compliance reports as well as easy tools to create custom reports.

    Sophos Encryption makes it easy to verify encryption status and demonstrate compliance which is especially useful in cases of lost or stolen devices where organizations must prove that these missing devices are encrypted.
