Re: U-wide Full-Disk Encryption Costs

[Steve Prosser <Steve.Prosser () SMU CA>]

We purchased Sophos SafeGuard a few years ago for a limited roll-out to 250 users and were able to negotiate $40 (Cdn.) 
per license for three years.

There wasn't any additional people required.
In the agreement, Sophos provided us with premiere support to help us with the installation and configuration of the 
console and initial policy setup to govern end-points.
No training materials were brought in but we developed several user and support documents.

I hope this helps,
Steve

Subject: [SECURITY] U-wide Full-Disk Encryption Costs

Does anyone who has implemented/offered a full-disk encryption safeguard for the entire institution (or, perhaps, just 
for laptops & other such mobile storage devices) have any ballpark cost figures they are willing to share?


*         Per license or site-wide licensing direct costs?

*         Add'l FTE or add'l indirect labor costs?

*         Training materials?

*         Other?

Thanks,

Mike
