Protect designs, BOMs, and technical data at the source—and everywhere they travel.
Your PLM controls who checks a file in; we control what happens next. With dynamic, attribute-based policies and persistent file protection, you prevent oversharing, enable safe supplier collaboration, and prove compliance—without slowing engineering.
Why PLM needs more than roles
-
CAD and BOM data leaves PLM as PDFs, JT, STEP/IGES, spreadsheets, and ZIPs.
-
Static roles can’t capture context (program, country, export class, partner, purpose).
-
Regulations (GDPR, ITAR/EAR, CMMC/NIST 800-171) require consistent, auditable enforcement.
What you get
-
Fine-grained access (ABAC): Control view/print/download by part, project, program, plant, or export class—inside Windchill and Teamcenter UI and services.
-
Field/row controls: Hide sensitive attributes (cost, supplier, material) and filter BOM lines by “need-to-know.”
-
Persistent file security (DRM): Auto-encrypt and watermark CAD, drawings, PDFs, JT, STEP—set usage rights (view/print/share/expire) that travel with the file.
-
Export & sharing governance: Condition or block downloads, syncs, and packages; enforce purpose-limited access for suppliers and manufacturing.
-
Compliance by design: Embed export-control, citizenship checks, data residency, and classification rules into every action.
-
Audit & forensics: One place to see who accessed what, when, where, and why.
Works across your toolchain
-
PLM: PTC Windchill, Siemens Teamcenter
-
CAD/Docs: Creo, NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor, AutoCAD, PDFs, Office
-
Downstream: ERP/MES/APS, supplier portals, secure viewers, APIs/ETL
Proven use cases
-
Program-based “Chinese walls” for defense/dual-use projects
-
Supplier packages with expiry, watermark, and no-reshare
-
ITAR/EAR enforcement by export class & user citizenship
-
BOM redaction for build-to-print vs. build-to-spec partners
Business outcomes
-
Reduce leakage and IP theft—without blocking engineering
-
Share faster with suppliers under tight, provable controls
-
Pass audits with traceable, centralized policy decisions
-
Change policy once—enforce everywhere across PLM, CAD, and downstream
Make your digital thread zero-trust.
