Sharp Security Suite
As an industry leader in document security, Sharp® Electronics recommends that businesses take a multi-
layer approach to securing their documents and data. This has never been more important as the
proliferation of e-mail and the Internet has made the need to monitor and safeguard document workflow a
top priority.
Failure to take steps to protect information assets has serious consequences, and risks exposing an
organization to liability claims, financial loss, and criminal penalties. Whether its personal or financial
information, health records, confidential government information or sensitive corporate data, it’s critical to
deploy solutions that minimize the risk of targeted or opportunistic threats.
What’s more, federal mandates now require compliance with stringent laws, specifically, the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB), and Sarbanes-Oxley
Act (SOX), to protect medical, consumer and financial records, respectively. Additionally, government
agencies must comply with security-relevant policies, such as NSTISSP #111 and DoD Directive 8500.12.
Sharp’s innovative suite of security offerings help organizations to meet these rigorous compliance
requirements by strengthening every link in the workflow chain - in relation to MFPs - by addressing the
following security topics:
DATA SECURITY : The optional Data Security Kit (DSK) helps protect and control the major MFP systems
and subsystems (print, copy, scan, fax jobs, network settings, operating system, memory components,
local user interface, engine and job controller). The DSK uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
algorithm on all data before it is written to RAM or Flash memory and the hard disk. The DSK also provides
overwriting routines for deleted data to help ensure that all information is virtually irretrievable by
unauthorized users.
ACCESS CONTROL SECURITY: To limit unauthorized access to each device, Sharp MFPs can utilize
account codes, user/group profiles, passwords, or external user accounts contained in an LDAP or Active
Directory server. All user credentials are transferred using a proven combination of Kerberos, SSL or
Digest-MD5 encryption to help avoid interception.

NETWORK SECURITY: Sharp MFPs feature an intelligent network interface that can limit access to specific
computers on a network by IP or MAC address, and selectively enable or disable any protocol or service
port on each device. All communications to and from the MFP can utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for
secure transmission over the network, and most devices also support SMB, IPv6 and SNMPv3.
FAX SECURITY: The architecture of Sharp MFPs provides a logical separation between the fax telephone
line and LAN. It is, therefore, virtually impossible for attackers to gain access to the internal systems of the
MFP or the local network.
DOCUMENT SECURITY: Protection for all sensitive documents can be assured through Sharp encrypted
PDF files for scanning and printing, or using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocols for scanning, printing, e-
mail and setup.
AUDIT TRAIL SECURITY: The Sharp MFP internal audit trail, and/or third party application software such as
Equitrac Office® provides comprehensive auditing of all user activity. Certain federal regulations
parameters, such as 'to', 'from', 'when' and 'file name' can be logged, reviewed and archived for
conformance.
