Secure PLM and CAD data

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
