Who we are
Overtis is in the business of information protection and compliance. We work with public and private sector organisations that are exposed to the risk and cost of misuse of sensitive information, IP or business process.
We are specialists in monitoring and managing user activity. Our systems detect and prevent unintentional, malicious or fraudulent data misuse, ensure business process integrity and secure regulatory, legislative and internal policy compliance, all supported by an irrefutable audit trail.
In this way we instantly reduce risk, avoid the substantial economic and reputation costs of information loss or process misuse, and minimise the pain of compliance.
We are unique in our focus on users and our 360° view across all activity and all devices, in and out of the cloud. Our systems are ‘content and context’ aware, ensuring only intelligent and appropriate interventions, and thus minimising intrusion and restriction in operational efficiency.
We are also unique in delivering our full range of functions through a single application, reducing cost of deployment and improving speed-to-value and ROI. Our systems fully integrate with physical security, and through real-time, on-line user mentoring, deliver systemic improvements in security culture.
