In December 2007, the office of David Nicholson CBE, the Chief Executive of the NHS in England, wrote to all Chief Executives of all Strategic Health Authorities, Special Health Authorities, NHS Trusts and Primary Care Trusts, restating the key responsibilities and accountabilities for securing effective information governance and to clarify required actions. Within the content of the letter (Gateway reference number 9185) are specific requirements for securing data in transit.

This document examines how Lumension Endpoint Security Suite, which includes Lumension Endpoint Protection and Lumension Data Protection, assures NHS Trusts of governance with all of the stated requirements for securing data in transit and maps the solution’s capabilities to these specific requirements.
