BUSINESS NEED:
Meet Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) information protection requirements,
especially as delineated in section 501(b).
Protect the Ocwen REALTrans business-to-business information exchange and the regulated non-public personal information (NPI) it maintains.
Minimize impact on business operations.

RESULTS:
After evaluating alternative solutions, including column encryption, OTX selected
Vormetric Data Security Expert.
Vormetric met all of OTX’s security needs, including high-speed encryption of
sensitive data in an OLTP database, without the implementation, performance and
management issues associated with alternative solutions.
Vormetric’s highly transparent design allowed OTX’s data storage environment
to be quickly secured without rewriting any application software.
The Vormetric solution secures approximately one million mortgage-related orders
per month for insurance, appraisals and property data, solving GLBA
information protection requirements.

“Security of our customers’ information is our highest concern. Our technology is used by the nation’s leading mortgage and real-estate companies that collectively originated 40% of all mortgages last year. Security and reliability are paramount, since we are protecting their customer relationships, as well as our own. ”
