About OpenQ SafeGuard™
OpenQ SafeGuard™addresses the risk of social technologies in regulated industries that have held back from using social technology because of regulatory, legal, and GRC concerns. SafeGuard can be used with any social platform and is currently integrated into more than a dozen platforms. It monitors risk from interactions over social networking platforms for regulated industries to enforce corporate policy and regulatory compliance. SafeGuard collects and analyzes data, identifying levels of risk and enabling personnel to address any issues with its workflow-driven remediation capabilities. The product analyzes the internal social data streams and external social media to identify, quarantine, and enable the management of risk. In addition to pre-moderation technologies, SafeGuard provides a critical layer of protection to monitor social platforms in real time using a policy/signature driven approach, similar to that of antivirus software, which can adapt to industry and company needs. It is the first and only product for policy-driven social compliance in the health, life science, and financial services ecosystems.
