Biscom Delivery Server
Biscom Delivery Server (BDS) is a superior, enterprise-class secure file transfer solution designed specifically for today's more demanding ad-hoc file transfer needs. Available as a Web application, Outlook add-in, or desktop client, BDS enables secure, authenticated, point-to-point delivery of files, messages, and unstructured data.

Avoiding Large Email Attachments in Exchange
Email can be an IT administrator’s biggest challenge. While the pressure to restrict attachment size due to overloading Exchange grows, so does the demand for larger email quotas as users increasingly need to send email attatchments. Attachments continue to grow in size and if users cannot email, they will find other ways of sending files such as unauthorized FTP servers, unknown hosted file transfer vendors, or even peer to peer networks. The BDS Outlook add-in provides the best of both worlds. Users can send large attachments from within Outlook but those attachments never hit the Exchange server.

Compliance: HIPAA – The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
HIPAA requires healthcare organizations and businesses that manage patient health information to protect the confidentiality and security of all health data managed by that organization. HIPAA compliance requirements, coupled with advances in electronic exchange of information, put significant additional technical and administrative burdens on healthcare organizations of all sizes.

Compliance: SEC 17a-4/NASD 3010/3110
In the wake of the 1929 stock market crash and the uncovering of widespread securities fraud, the U.S. Congress enacted the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Compliance: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Sarbanes-Oxley (commonly called "SarbOx" or "SOX") is law today. It was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 2002 in the wake of serious accounting scandals perpetrated by major U.S. corporations. It affects the accounting, financial reporting, and tracking of sales activities for large and small public companies alike, and also for privately held firms that may at some point seek to become public. Compliance with the law constitutes a major investment of corporate resources for companies of all sizes — failure to comply has destroyed companies and ruined careers.

Compliance: The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, was enacted in part to protect consumers' private financial information. It allows consumers to control the use of their private information and to secure and protect that information from unauthorized use or access. With identity theft, "phishing," "pharming," and other highly publicized examples of large scale financial information theft and abuse receiving attention, companies of all sizes are under increasing scrutiny regarding their compliance with GLBA.
