Microsoft Purview information protection for CAD files
Secude HaloCAD automatically applies Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) to CAD files, enforcing persistent access controls across AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, and other CAD platforms. Protects sensitive design intellectual property throughout the project lifecycle.
Why This Tool Exists
CAD files contain sensitive intellectual property that companies struggle to protect when sharing across multidisciplinary teams, contractors, and throughout the project lifecycle. Leaked or misused CAD data can expose design intent, specifications, and competitive advantages.
Automatically applies Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) to CAD files at the point of origin, enforcing access controls for the lifetime of the file regardless of where it travels. Files retain their native format and user experience while maintaining persistent security policies.
