NEED SAFE AND SECURE DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT PEACE OF MIND?
Data protection has become one of the major concerns of our time, and certainly for most companies. To safeguard against a wide range of potential security risks, these TASKalfa devices come with IPsec, IPv6 and PDF encryption as standard. For even greater security, KYOCERA’s Data Security Kit effectively deletes all data stored on the hard disk during the print, copy or scanning process. And by adding the Document Guard Kit, you can ensure that documents embedded with the print guard pattern cannot be copied, scanned or faxed from any TASKalfa device that has the kit installed. Or multiply your document security options even further with the optional Card Authentication function, and keep your company’s intellectual property safe from unauthorized individuals either within your organisation or from uninvited guests outside the organisation.
