Compliance Tools
We are currently researching advanced techniques for locating, tracking, and handling information within an organization.
Such technologies are useful for privacy compliance and financial management. The need may be driven by legislation and regulations, or it may just make good business sense.
A demonstration of our technologies for locating and monitoring private information is now available.
PrivWatch was created to detect and monitor privacy breaches on the Gnutella Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network. With PrivWatch, you can view statistics about privacy breaches based on the type of information, the geographic patterns, and the trends over time.
An example of our approach can be seen in these papers:
