For corporates

Documents for a named list of people

No catalogue, no cart, no customers. A report, a manual, a training module and a list of people entitled to see it — and a real answer to the question of what happens when it is forwarded.

Where this comes up

Research and analyst reports sold on subscription. Standards, codes and manuals licensed per site. Product and compliance training that has to be evidenced. Board and transaction documents shared with a defined list for a defined period.

In every one of those, the file survives the relationship that justified it. DRM is the only control that travels with the document after it leaves your network.

Talk it through

The controls

Encrypted PDF/A and EPUB: Protection bound to the recipient, not to a link that can be forwarded.
Expiry that is real: Access ends on the date you set, wherever the file has got to.
Dynamic watermarking: Viewer identity drawn into video at playback; document watermarking on request.
Device and geography rules: Cap devices per person; allow or deny by country and IP range.
An audit trail: Who opened what, when, from where — exportable for an auditor or a regulator.

Training video is usually the weak point

The document policy is written down. The video sits on a shared drive or an unlisted link, which is not a policy.

Widevine and FairPlay playback: Hardware-backed decryption rather than an obscured URL.
Screen-capture blocking: Blocked on mobile and, where the platform allows, in Safari.
Completion evidence: Per-viewer watch time and completion, for compliance sign-off.
