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.

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? We have you covered with GeoIP locking.

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.

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 Security & DRM Copy Protection

Protect from piracy

Stop copying & prevent unauthorized distribution
Stop printing /control prints
Stop screen grabbing
Expire & revoke access
Apply dynamic watermarks
Audit document use, identify leaks

Share securely

Our document security software prevents unauthorized document sharing and piracy. It controls access to and use of information inside and outside your organization, so you can securely, and cost effectively, distribute and manage your digital content. Control BYOD use and lock PDF documents to specific locations.

Dynamic control

Change access, print, IP restriction, and expiry controls even after distribution. Apply dynamic watermarks displaying individual user information to viewed and/or printed documents to discourage photocopying. Revoke documents and users at any stage no matter where they reside.

Total PDF Protection

Using US Government approved AES 256 bit encryption, public key technology, device locking, IP restrictions, and DRM controls, you can be assured that your documents are safe both at rest and in transit. We don’t use insecure plugins, JavaScript or passwords for document protection.

Document DRM vs password protection

Document & PDF Password Protection

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

are difficult to manage and control
can be easily stolen or shared
weak passwords can be easily broken with password remover software
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.
