Abstract: A system of securing data stored on a portable electronic device and an associated method are disclosed. The system includes a server machine coupled to the portable electronic device, the server machine comprising a plurality of data sets adaptively coupled to a document map database, the document map database storing a document catalog provided by a document audit agent residing on the portable electronic device, the portable electronic device further comprising a rules agent operable to execute security rules associated with each of the plurality of data sets.

Abstract: A data security system and method protects stored data from unauthorized access. According to one aspect of the invention, a client computing device communicates periodically with a server. If communications is note established between the client and the server for a selected activation interval and a subsequent grace period, the data is determined to be lost, and programmed security rules are automatically executed. Rules relating to encryption, as well as other security procedures, can be defined and entered by an administrator with access to the server, and then disseminated to each of a plurality of clients that access the server.

If communications is note established between the client and the server for a selected activation interval and a subsequent grace period, the data is determined to be lost, and programmed security rules are automatically executed. The server with which the client computer device communicates includes one server located inside the firewall of a particular organization, or a mirror server located outside the firewall, and thereby allow for the re-setting of the activation interval when the client is properly outside of the firewall through communication with the mirror server, as well as the to provide command an control over a lost or stolen client by pushing updated rules if communication is subsequently attempted with the mirror server.
