A multi-faceted approach to make users aware of their information usage obligations is the foundation for compliance success

A strong approach to information compliance requires actions that span the information compliance lifecycle. Actions can be taken before, during and after the user accesses information.

• Prospective compliance establishes the structure and policy for information disclosure. Epok software obtains user agreement to site access terms and can require periodic re-acceptance of access terms.
  
  
• Operational compliance builds compliance at the time information is shared. This is the most critical point in the compliance process. Epok software can add personalized watermarks and terms of use to downloaded documents, it can collect information requested by the publisher on the intended use of information or justification for access, access dates are tied to business agreements so that access terminates across all affected sites automatically as the business relationship ends.
  
  
• Reporting answers questions of who, when, what and why a user accessed a site. Epok provides this information, but more importantly, Epok ties access to a specific partner organization and the business agreement that authorizes the access to answer the critical question “Why did this user have access?” Epok software also provides multiple reporting options to support the needs of business users, IT and security officers.
