For KYOCERA Document Solutions America, Simplicity Equals Security

PrivateScan™ limits each user to one single scanning destination, minimizing risk of unauthorized – or accidental – transmission of sensitive documents.

FAIRFIELD, N.J. – August 23, 2016 – KYOCERA Document Solutions America, one of the world’s leading document solutions companies, today announced the introduction of PrivateScan, a business application designed for organizations with high security and confidentiality standards. PrivateScan runs on any HyPAS-enabled Kyocera Multifunctional Product (MFP).

At many workplaces, it is possible to scan documents to a wide range of destinations: desktops, various departmental servers, internal and external email addresses, even memory cards and USB sticks. With Kyocera’s PrivateScan, there is only one option: the user’s unique authenticated email address.

“By simplifying the process, we’ve made it more secure… without impacting employees’ ability to get things done,” said Douglas Cole, Director of Product Marketing, Corporate Marketing Division for KYOCERA Document Solutions America.
Indeed, one of the advantages of PrivateScan is the ease with which it integrates into existing document processes. Users simply select the application icon on the control panel, enter their credentials or swipe their proximity cards, then press scan. The scanned image is routed directly and exclusively to their email in-box.

Cole explained that users actually represent a critical threat to the security chain, but in most cases it’s not because of malicious intent. “Accidental transmission of sensitive information is more common than intentional theft. PrivateScan dramatically reduces the likelihood of human error.”

Better security, without impacting productivity – exactly what Kyocera customers are looking for.

Pricing and Availability
PrivateScan is available through authorized Kyocera dealers at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $216. To find a dealer, visit Kyocera’s dealer locator at www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.com/us.
