This laptop security software that emails you the precise location of your laptop and also lets you permanently destroy your sensitive data in the laptop to prevent unauthorized access or data breach. Location tracking of your laptop continues even after sensitive files and folders has been destroyed.

Data Protection
Encryption is necessary for data protection, but it is powerless to protect data against an inside thief who has the key or password. CSI/FBI says that much of computer crime is the result of an inside job. Encryption alone does not guarantee data security.
When a laptop is stolen, the data must be verifiably destroyed to protect data and reduce corporate liability related to data breaches. The stolen laptop should be recovered to determine whether the data has been breached and the suspect should be arrested for an investigation. Inspice Trace software not only helps protect data and recover stolen laptops, but also helps arrest the thief.
Inspice Trace can also be used in wiping out all data at the end of laptop lifecycle. Inspice Trace uses US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard (DOD 5220.22-M) to ensure that data is securely destroyed.
Data security cannot be achieved without data confidentiality and data integrity. Thus no monitoring staff access or browse the data files on your laptop, nor do they install software on your laptop. Inspice Trace never transmits data out of the laptops. In fact, Inspice has no monitoring center and there is no monitoring staff.
Regulatory Compliance
Inspice Trace helps organization comply with national and international data protection regulations. The technology protects data by destroying the sensitive information on stolen laptops. Once the data is destroyed from a stolen laptop, Inspice Trace provides a confirmation to help verify that the data is safe. Tracking a stolen laptop or arresting the thief helps establish that sensitive information is secure. Furthermore, identification or arresting of the thief helps prevent similar incidents. Inspice Trace can also be used to properly dispose data from the laptops at the end of their life cycle.
Data protection-related regulations like the UK Data Protection Act that mandate the protection of personal data are becoming increasingly common. Some regulations, such as California Senate Bill 1386, require organizations to notify individuals who have been affected by a data breach. Other regulations, such as New York Senate Bills 5178 & 3492A, require the proper disposal or destruction of records containing private information. Gramm-Leach-Bliley and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) require safeguarding personal information. Some of these regulations carry both civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance. Inspice Trace facilitates compliance with these and other data protection regulations.
Accurate Tracking
Inspice Trace, a location tracking program residing in your computer, determines the location of your computer and sends you location information via email. Inspice Trace provides accurate tracking results including the laptop’s public and private IP addresses, as well as hostnames. The tracking results enable identification of the thief’s name, phone number and address, in addition to the physical location of the stolen laptop.
Inspice Trace determines the location of the laptop by analyzing its network configuration information, including the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and hostname. This technology provides an accurate, pinpoint location anywhere in the world, and the results are sent to you automatically, with no monitoring whatsoever, to protect your privacy.
100% Privacy-Safe Tracking
Traditional tracking technologies rely on having electronic devices send signals to a monitoring center where movements are tracked. Unfortunately, this means that the authorized user’s movements are also tracked. Over time, the monitoring center has records of the user’s past and present whereabouts, which raises serious concerns about privacy. Some users are willing to sacrifice their privacy to have the location tracking capability in case of theft.
With Inspice Trace, however, users no longer have to make that tradeoff. At Inspice, we understand the importance of privacy, so we created the first location tracking technology that guarantees users' privacy. In fact, users are never monitored, and they can choose to remain anonymous if they wish. Inspice Trace provides uncompromised privacy, while retaining the ability to pinpoint a stolen laptop's precise location without the use of a monitoring center.
