We were looking for a data security tool that encrypted all local files, especially as more offices go virtual. With Phalanx, the security follows each file and allows you to be compliant anywhere. Phalanx is very flexible and modular and provides the functionality we were looking for.
Evans FosterCTO @ Ingalls Information Security
Working in this digital environment, securing data is extremely important and having the right protection is key. Phalanx has provided that additional level of security for protecting my clients’ data and my company’s files. Phalanx is simple to implement, and in my industry, it is that extra layer of protection that puts my mind at ease. The team at Phalanx is excellent at listening to my concerns and issues and walking me through their solution. I am pleased with both the solution and the service!
Jenny DevannyCPA @ Devanny CPA PLLC
Phalanx has significantly reduced the time that it takes for us to be able to construct a POC with our customers. As with any data relationship, sending data back and forth can either be problematic if you have to develop new API’s. Having the ability to use flat files with our customers who can simply create a folder in their choice of cloud storage where all files are automatically encrypted and delivered to us seamlessly is a big plus. In addition, their system helps keep the data on all of our corporate laptops safe and secure!
Robert J. KirkCEO @InterGen Data
We're happy with the product. We use Phalanx to quarantine customer data when it gets sent to us, send sensitive data to industry partners, and manage customer documents.
