Locklizard vs secure data rooms

Secure virtual data rooms make you believe you can share documents securely online. However, your documents are only as secure as the weakest link – login credentials can be shared with other users so anyone can login and view your ‘secure’ documents… See data room security is not adequate for secure document sharing.

Why choose Locklizard over secure data rooms?

No login credentials for users to share

Users never enter any credentials so they cannot be shared. Decryption keys are transparently relayed to an encrypted client keystore locked to the user’s device.

No uploading unprotected documents

Unprotected documents don’t leave your computer so they can never be compromised. Secure documents on your local computer and distribute them by web, email, usb, etc.

Lock documents to countries & IPs

Want to make sure users can only open documents from a specific office location? Or they cannot open them outside their own country? You are covered with GeoIP locking.

Stop screen grabbing & printing to PDF

Stop print screen & third party screen grabbing tools capturing your documents. Prevent printing documents to PDF and other file formats.

Document DRM vs password protection

Document Security & PDF Password Protection

Why you should NOT use passwords to protect documents

Passwords seem a quick and simple way of protecting documents with encryption but:

are difficult to manage and control
can be easily stolen or shared
weak passwords can be easily broken with password remover software
PDF permissions (restrictions) can be removed however strong the password is
you have no control over documents once they have been decrypted

Why you should not password protect PDF files.

Locklizard takes your document protection seriously. Our document DRM enables you to securely share documents without insecure passwords, and enforces access, location, expiry, and usage controls no matter where your documents reside. Total document security for Data Loss Prevention DLP: document protection & control.

Protect, control, & analyze confidential, sensitive or revenue-generating documents on any device, in any location

Document Encryption & DRM

DRM is better able to protect content from copying & redistribution.
Microsoft RMS Document Security
