One of the most common questions that our sales team gets is “how secure is my data in the cloud”? Of course   we have our pitch ready to go that describes in detail how data is encrypted at the source (client machine) with the user password and transferred through an SSL layer to a luxurious SAS70 data center facility and so on and on regarding physical data security.

But we found that sometimes when we talk to a user that is a business owner its hard for them to understand the technical terms and how their business data is actually protected.

In order to transfer the message better we decided recently to try the visual demonstration of data protection and to show what encrypted documents/data really look like.

I pulled a file from our company’s local backup and if you click here you can see  what our accounting record (or whatever the data is) looked like after the encryption process
