Document Protection

Up and running in under 5 minutes

Your protection rules travel with your document.

DociShield applies your protection rules to every document at the point of upload. Those rules stay attached regardless of where the document travels, who holds it, or how it is accessed.

DociShield document protection settings showing upload, protection rules and access controls

Most documents leave your hands completely unprotected.

A PDF sent as an email attachment can be downloaded, printed, forwarded, stored, and shared with anyone. You have no visibility and no control. You cannot update the rules. You cannot pull it back.

DociShield changes that. Every document you send through DociShield carries its protection rules with it. Not stored on a server somewhere. Attached to the document itself. Enforced automatically every time it is accessed.

Every control you need. Applied once. Enforced always.

Padlock against city skyline - protection rules that travel with every document

Limit Downloads

Set the exact number of times a document can be downloaded. Zero means no downloads at all. One means one copy. You decide.

Limit Printing

Control how many times a document can be sent to a printer. Prevent physical distribution of sensitive information.

Limit Views

Restrict how many times a document can be opened. After the limit is reached, access is blocked automatically.

Dynamic Watermarking

Apply watermarks that display the recipient name, email address, access timestamp, and document ID. Every page. Every copy. Fully traceable.

Set Expiry

Specify a date and time after which the document is no longer accessible. Automatic. No manual intervention required.

Instant Revocation

Revoke access to shared documents instantly, even after delivery. Takes effect the moment you toggle it. No notification to the recipient. No delay.

Digital document signing with security shield representing technical enforcement of protection rules

Technical enforcement, not policy enforcement.

DociShield does not rely on recipients following instructions. The protection rules are enforced at the infrastructure level. When a limit is reached, access is blocked. When a document expires, it becomes inaccessible. When you revoke access, it is gone.

Documents are viewed through DociShield's secure web viewer. They never leave the governed environment in an unprotected state. Every interaction is logged in a tamper-evident audit trail.

HOW IT WORKS TECHNICALLY

Document DRM enforced at the infrastructure level.

Every protection rule you set in DociShield is applied at the point of upload and enforced at the infrastructure level. This is not software installed on the recipient's device. This is not a policy they agree to follow. It is Document DRM built into the delivery layer itself - so when a download limit is reached, access is blocked. When an expiry fires, the document becomes inaccessible. When you revoke, it is gone instantly.

PDF DRM through DociShield means your rules travel with the document regardless of who holds it, which device they are on, or where in the world they are accessing it. Dynamic watermarking identifies every viewer. Download and print restrictions prevent unauthorized copies. Expiry and revocation give you control that persists long after the document has been delivered. This is technical enforcement. Not trust.

Document control

Your rules travel with the document. Including revocation.

Set your protection rules once. Change or revoke them any time. Even after the document has been opened.

Every revocation is timestamped and logged

Dynamic watermarking that makes every copy traceable.

DociShield's dynamic watermarking applies a unique watermark to every document viewed by every recipient. The watermark contains the recipient's name, email address, the date and time of access, and a unique document identifier. If a protected document ever appears somewhere it should not, you know exactly who accessed it and when.

Set the rules once. DociShield enforces them always.
