Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

AEC teams share sensitive CAD files, design documents, and project data with multiple external partners without adequate protection, risking IP theft and compliance violations. Manual file protection takes days or weeks for large document sets.

✅

The Solution

Automated bulk file protection using drag-and-drop encryption, Microsoft Purview integration for sensitivity labeling, and digital watermarking. Files remain protected even after sharing, with revocable access and audit trails.
