Simpleum joins the European Cyber Security Month for the third time

We are happy to join the European Cyber Security Months for the third time this year!

“ECSM is the EU’s annual advocacy campaign that takes place in October and aims to raise awareness of cyber security threats, promote cyber security among citizens and provide up to date security information, through education and sharing of good practices.” (Source: https://cybersecuritymonth.eu)

The BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) coordinates the German actions in the European Cyber Security Months.

During the European Cyber Security Months we reduce the price of our software to facilitate the access in the encryption also in terms of price.

Why choose SimpleumSafe?
Nowadays it is not enough “only” to encrypt your data to be protected. If you want to view, organize, or edit the encrypted files, they also must be protected. It is important not to leave any trace on the system, and even if a Trojan looks over your shoulder, it can not copy all your files to the Internet.

SimpleumSafe goes a different way than most other encryption programs. After authorization with a password, the files are not provided in the file system. Otherwise they would be completely vulnerable from this moment on. SimpleumSafe makes its own file system and has its own finder. Thus the files remain encrypted for the entire time.

SimpleumSafe is a suitable technical solution for the protection of digital personal data according to GDPR for Mac.
With SimpleumSafe, confidential business secrets, privacy-related personal data, contracts, etc. can be protected quickly and easily with strong encryption. Due to the intuitive operation no training or implementation projects are necessary. Also, the low purchase price per license reduces the hurdle for an immediate entry into comprehensive protection of business data.

SimpleumCheck “Security Advisor”

Spectre, Meltdown, WannaCry, Ransomware, Trojan – The horror messages in the area of IT security do not take off. Consumers are increasingly confused and do not know where to start protecting their computer.

We have developed SimpleumCheck to give you a little insight into which security settings exist and which ones you have activated. It is very important to us that SimpleumCheck is also seen as a kind of “learning program”. Now you can get a little deeper into how the computer and various programs work, and get information about security settings with the help of the action instructions.

Basic-, Professional- and Paranoid-Check

SimpleumCheck checks seventy parameters on the Mac in three stages and gives you recommendations on how you can improve your security even further.

The Basic-Check and the corresponding changes of the settings are recommended for each user.

The Professional-Check is particularly valid for professional/business use and is also aimed for secret holder etc… However, we recommend that each user also look at these results and consider the recommendations.

Those who would like to follow the recommendations of the Paranoid-Check are ready to give up comfort and functionality for a high level of security. Here, for example, Bluetooth and the microphone are turned off.

We will add more security checks and explanatory articles over time.

Test results

The test results give you step-by-step information about which setting has been checked. If, for example, the “firewall” is activated, the password hint is displayed?

A click on “Learn More” will show you what you need to turn on or off to improve the security of your Mac.

The data retrieved by SimpleumCheck will remain on your Mac. No data is transferred to any server.

System requirements

  • macOS 10.11 „El Capitan“ or higher
  • the software is available in Englisch
