Gazzang Secures Mobile Data Collection for iOS Devices

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gazzang, Inc., the company securing data in the cloud, today announced integration of its ezNcrypt data security solution with Zerion Software’s iFormBuilder, an offline capable, enterprise-class mobile data collection platform to provide maximum data security for mobile workers. Available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices, the joint offering addresses a growing list of federal mandates that require encryption of mobile user data from device to server.

“Along with the broad adoption of mobile technologies, more hackers are emerging to target these resources. We’re thrilled to partner with Zerion to reduce the risks of costly data breaches, and ensure the compliance of mobile business processes with the industry’s most stringent regulatory guidelines.”

iFormBuilder’s mobile data collection platform includes a powerful form builder, real time notifications, as well as mobile dispatch allowing users to create, edit and assign records to workers in the field. Used for such high profile field projects as the National Children’s Study, the solution provides extreme scalability, flexibility and security capable of supporting thousands of concurrent users and millions of data points.

iFormBuilder leverages Gazzang’s ezNcrypt’s data encryption solution as the backbone of its iForm ES and iForm Kiosk mobile clients. ezNcrypt’s transparent data encryption (TDE) process auto-encrypts data at rest with dual authentication keys without making changes to existing applications or databases. This ensures iFormBuilder compliance with FISMA, HIPAA and ISO 9001 guidelines, so if a device is lost or stolen, the data within the application remains safe.

“Workforce mobility is playing a bigger and bigger role across industries including healthcare, education, hospitality, retail and field services,” said Sze Wong, CEO of Zerion Software. “As organizations transmit sensitive data between servers and devices, they need to be sure the processes they’re relying on are secure. ezNcrypt provides a high-powered data encryption solution that meets our needs for regulatory compliance with HIPAA, FISMA and ISO 9001 without impacting the productivity of mobile workers. We’re very excited to work with Gazzang to bring this solution to market.”

“Mobility is becoming a serious aspect of enterprise computing, with more and more devices storing and transmitting sensitive business data,” said Larry Warnock, CEO of Gazzang. “Along with the broad adoption of mobile technologies, more hackers are emerging to target these resources. We’re thrilled to partner with Zerion to reduce the risks of costly data breaches, and ensure the compliance of mobile business processes with the industry’s most stringent regulatory guidelines.”
