PROBLEM: The standard PDF document is incompatible with the digital/cloud era and the rapidly evolving privacy laws.

​

Some users of PDF documents are subject to the Privacy Act., while others may be exempt. Creating duplicate PDF documents for every desired level of redaction is impractical and archaic, especially when the duplication process itself involves levels of authorizations to protect varying degrees of 'privileged content' on different pages.

 

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and firewall filtering techniques are incapable of discerning context, connotation and intention context with precision.

​

Information Protection sensitivity labels are virtually impossible to scale up at the word  level of collaborative protection.

​

Users are very likely to classify these sensitivity labels inconsistently over time, as the scale of incoming content is just too large and too varied.

Converting PDFs to an internal proprietary format is nonsensical, as the world is addicted to PDF.

At the end of the day, you can encrypt all you like, but the ‘bad’ words are still not selectively protected, as protecting 'WORD-X' on page 1, is nothing like protecting that same 'WORD-X' on page 51.

​

These workaround protection treatments are not enterprise-friendly and are therefore susceptible to unintentional disclosure risks. A disclosure means the damage is already done!

​

 

SOLVED: The challenge - We are pushing people to think differently!

A single document; a single page, a single sentence, is often divided/split into different portions of privileged and non-privileged information which are subject to the authorization rights of different users and dependent on changing business circumstances.

 

So selectively curating (protecting) what information appears on a page - concerning the most popular document format known to mankind - is representative of a global revolution and business re-engineering opportunity.

 

​

The humble PDF document, common to all businesses, has remained virtually untouched; frozen in time... up until now.
