Digital Content Security & Content Protection

There are no passwords or codes for users to enter, so they cannot be shared.  Keys are transparently and securely transferred to authorized devices and locked to those devices.

Unlike secure deal rooms, users cannot share access information, and therefore your ‘protected’ documents with others.

Having no passwords also solves the password  management headache – Locklizard securely and transparently delivers document keys to a secure keystore locked to each device.

Full control over document distribution:

• Protect documents on your local computer – no uploading of unprotected files to a server where they could be exposed to attack.  You retain full control over unprotected documents and ensure they can never be exposed to the wrong people.
• Distribute secure documents just like any other file – upload them to a cloud server, your website, send by email or distribute on a USB, etc.
• You are not forced to use yet another system where you have to manage user passwords or use a fixed document structure for displaying your protected documents – easily integrate protected documents with your existing systems and automate document protection and administration.

A wide range of digital rights management controls to ensure documents cannot be copied or shared and you retain full control over them at all times.

• Block screenshots – stops users from taking high-quality screen grabs using screen grabbing tools.  Cloud-hosted secure dealing room systems CANNOT stop screen grabbing because they do not install any software on the client device.
• Disable printing (or limit the number of prints).  If printing is allowed, then we automatically prevent printing to file drivers (e.g. PDF files)– this is NOT possible to prevent with cloud-hosted secure dealing room systems.
• Expire documents after a number of days use, views, prints, or on a fixed date.
• Revoke documents and user access instantly (regardless of where they are located).
• Track how documents are used by whom and when – know who you are actually tracking compared to shared emails and IP addresses.
• Allow offline use with full protection– no forcing of users to be online to view protected documents.

Control the devices and locations your protected documents can be accessed from.

• Automatically locks document use to authorized devices to prevent sharing.

• Control the number of devices for each user that your protected documents can be used on.

• Lock use to locations to control where your protected documents can be used from (e.g. office only).  This enables you to easily control BYOD use since documents on a mobile device will be available for use in the office but not when taken home.

Add dynamic watermarks to viewed and/or printed pages.  Dynamic variables are replaced by user data at print/view time.

You only have to protect a document once for all users rather than having to protect documents individually for each user in order to display unique user information (name, email, etc.).

• Installed Viewers provide stronger security than cloud-based systems – no uncontrolled browser environment where users can easily circumvent security controls.

• We don’t expose user’s systems to attack by forcing users to enable JavaScript or turn off security functionality in Adobe Acrobat or other applications.

• We don’t use or allow plugins since they easily break and can be used to bypass security.

• No decrypting of files on a server or use of temporary files – documents are decrypted locally by the Viewer in memory so they cannot be compromised.

• Unlike slow browser environments, large and complex documents are displayed instantly with fast scrolling and search.

• You can also publish documents securely for zero installation viewing on USB devices (totally offline) or viewing in a Browser.

• DRM controls are always enforced for both online and offline documents regardless of their location.

Our document security software is simple to use – secure documents by right clicking on them in Windows Explorer.

You only have to protect a document once for all users to control individual expiry access etc.

Manage users and document access via our web-based administration system.

Automate document protection, and automate administration (user management and document access) with our command line and API tools.

Once users have clicked on a link to activate their license they don’t need to do anything else (i.e. enter a password, login, etc.) to open documents that they have been authorized to view.

Perpetual licenses save thousands – 3 year use would be a $11,800 saving compared to a $500 monthly fee.
