Even in today's digital workplace, paper documents remain an indispensable part of many organizations' core operations. Yet routine printing often lacks effective control and logging, making it difficult to trace documents once they leave the office and exposing sensitive information to potential risks.

AnySecura enhances print management by combining comprehensive monitoring, intelligent auditing, and seamless integration with document tagging and sensitive content inspection. This allows organizations to manage printing more selectively and flexibly, effectively safeguarding the "last line of defense" against data leaks.

AnySecura Print Control: Multi-Layered Protection Against Paper-Based Data Leakage

Print Permission Management: Control "Who Can Print"

AnySecura supports unified permission management across all types of printers—virtual, shared, local, or networked. Organizations can assign differentiated printing permissions based on job roles to prevent unauthorized or malicious printing.

Printing can also be restricted for specific applications, such as ERP or OA systems, ensuring sensitive data isn't improperly exported. For temporary printing needs, employees can request short-term permissions through an approval process or self-service registration, balancing security with operational efficiency.

Document Tagging: Tailored Controls for Different Sensitivity Levels

Print controls integrate seamlessly with document tagging. Permissions can be linked to document sensitivity levels or specific tags, ensuring that high-security documents remain under strict supervision.

Content Inspection: Block Sensitive Documents Before Printing

Using sensitive content inspection, AnySecura can quickly scan and identify protected information. If a document contains sensitive data, printing is immediately blocked, preventing leaks at the source.

Watermarking: Add a "Tracker" to Every Document

Once printed, paper documents can easily leave the organization's control. AnySecura provides flexible watermarking options, including company logos, text, images, QR codes, and dot-matrix watermarks.

Watermarks not only assert copyright but also embed clear company and user identifiers, allowing traceability even if documents circulate externally and providing strong evidence for leak investigations.

Screen Snapshots: Visual Records of Printing Activity

Print control integrates with screen monitoring. Administrators can configure endpoints to automatically capture screen snapshots whenever printing occurs, fully recreating the printing process.

If audits later reveal suspicious activity, these recordings provide clear and direct evidence for investigating and tracing potential leaks.

Content Backup: Every Print Job Documented

To ensure traceability, AnySecura can automatically capture a complete image of each print job and record key content in text form. This dual backup preserves the full printed content while streamlining audits, ensuring every printed document can be verified.

Comprehensive Auditing: Quickly Trace the Source of Leaks

Auditing is critical to preventing paper-based leaks. AnySecura records every print job in full detail—time, user, document name, page count, and content—allowing administrators to quickly conduct audits and detect potential risks.

In the event of a leak, these complete print records enable fast reconstruction of events and precise identification of the source, providing robust support for organizational information security.

As a critical component of enterprise information security, effective print management strengthens overall defense. AnySecura's print control solution integrates permission management, content inspection, watermarking, screen recording, content backup, and comprehensive auditing to cover prevention, control, and traceability, fully blocking paper-based data leaks and enabling smarter, more reliable information security governance.
