Session 05 / Client records

You cannot value a position nobody has found yet.

A financial practice accumulates client material without ever deciding to. Returns land on a desktop, statements sit in a downloads folder, a spreadsheet of account numbers gets mailed once and lives forever. These two entries locate that material, put a figure against it, and then act on what the figure says.

Discovery is the entry that changes the conversation

Ask a practice where its client material sits and the answer describes the practice management system. Run a scan and the real answer appears, involving a downloads folder, three desktops, an elderly shared drive, and a laptop somebody uses at weekends.

Actifile examines workstations and shares for the patterns this sector accumulates: tax identifiers, account and routing numbers, card data, and identity documents. Then it prices exposure per device. That price puts remediation into an order, because a practice with finite attention ought to spend it on the worst three machines rather than spreading it evenly.

Price the exposure device by device and remediation turns into a queue instead of an opinion.

Enforcement is what you do with the answer

Discovery alone leaves a practice better informed and no safer. The second entry acts on it: encryption over the files that count rather than across whole disks, and the routes material departs by brought under a rule somebody has actually written down.

Removable media, uploads, and mail attachments are the routes that matter day to day. Attempts outside the rule get recorded instead of quietly permitted, and the recording is what makes a policy into something anybody can point at afterwards.

Sensitive Data Discovery

Actifile reading what already sits on the disk

A position nobody has found cannot be valued. Discovery examines workstations and shares for the material a practice accumulates without intending to, and prices each device.

  • Locates tax identifiers, account numbers, and card data wherever they came to rest.
  • Prices exposure device by device, which puts remediation into a workable order.
  • Repeats on a schedule, since a device clean in March is not clean by June.

Encryption and Channel Control

Actifile acting on what the read turned up

Discovery on its own is a finding. This entry acts on the finding: sensitive files encrypted in place, and the routes material departs by brought under a written rule.

  • Transparent encryption over the files that count, not across the whole disk.
  • Removable media, uploads, and mail routes governed by a rule somebody wrote.
  • Attempts falling outside that rule get recorded rather than quietly permitted.

What this session does not settle

Two entries about the material itself. Their edges:

  • Discovery reads patterns, never meaning. It finds structures resembling account numbers and identifiers. A human decides what a given file actually is and whether it ought to be sitting there at all.
  • Encryption is not disposal. Material the practice should no longer hold wants disposing of. Encrypting it leaves it exactly where it was, protected, and still in your possession.
  • Your retention schedule is not ours to write. How long the practice keeps what, and under which obligation, belongs to the practice and its advisers. We enforce a schedule. We do not author one.
  • Unmanaged storage stays unmanaged. A personal cloud account, a home computer, or a drive nobody pointed us at contributes nothing to the price and receives no enforcement.
  • None of this is a legal opinion. Nobody here is your lawyer or your examiner. What we produce is a finding carrying a date. What it means for your obligations is a question for somebody qualified to answer it.
