Protect, control, track, and manage files shared outside the organization through email, cloud-based sharing services, FTP, and portable media. Persistent encryption remains with the file regardless of its location, and senders can set a validity period and/or revoke access immediately, even after distribution. This reduces the threat of unwanted information disclosure and the negative impact it may cause. Achieve secure and efficient external collaboration anytime, anywhere.
Risks of data leak through a third-party company
Challenges
A logistics company uses a partner company to send direct mail (DM) to their customers. They compile a list that includes contact information and addresses of their clients, which then gets emailed to their partners. The risks involved include both accidental or intentional leaks of customer personal identifiable information (PII). There is no security in place for the file or the process of sending it to the other company.
Solutions
Fasoo Enterprise DRM for External (FED-E) allows the company to send encrypted files to their partner company without the risk of a leak. The partner can use the files without the need for decryption or other processing. FED-E has the ability to

Fasoo Enterprise DRM for External (FED-E) is a data security solution that ensures the secure sharing of sensitive files with third parties via email.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) describes the tools, systems, and data-centric process used to automatically encrypt files and control file access privileges dynamically of unstructured data at rest, in use, and in motion. In the consumer space, DRM aims to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted material, such as computer software and multimedia files.
In business, Enterprise DRM ensures data-centric document protection inside and outside the IT perimeter and along an organization’s supply chain to protect sensitive information against theft or misuse by insiders and unauthorized access from the outside.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) refers to a set of security strategies, tools, and techniques designed to prevent the unauthorized access, sharing, or leakage of sensitive data outside an organization’s network. DLP systems monitor and control data in various forms – whether it’s being used, transferred, or stored – across different devices or environments. By using predefined policies, DLP solutions identify and block the transmission of sensitive data like personal information, financial details, or intellectual property to unauthorized destinations, ensuring compliance with legal regulations and reducing the risk of data breaches.
DRM and DLP are both security technologies but they focus on different aspects of data protection. While they may seem similar, understanding their core difference is key to choosing the right solution for your organization.
DLP primarily focuses on protecting sensitive data by preventing it from leaving the organization’s network. It aims to secure data in transit or at rest and ensure that confidential information doesn’t leak through channels like emails or external devices. DRM, on the other hand, provides a more comprehensive focus by protecting the actual content itself. DRM controls how data is used, accessed, and shared across its entire lifecycle – whether the data is inside or outside the organization. This makes DRM particularly effective in protecting intellectual property and sensitive information at every stage, regardless of its location.
DLP uses predefined rules to monitor, detect, and block sensitive data from being transferred or accessed inappropriately. It reacts to potential threats and enforces security policies to prevent data breaches. DRM takes a proactive approach, embedding protection directly into the content itself. DRM ensures that files, documents, and other digital assets are secure from unauthorized access or distribution, including setting permissions for viewing, editing, printing, and sharing.
DLP is effective at monitoring and restricting data flows within an organization. However, once the data is shared externally, DLP’s protection ends. DRM offers broader protection by securing data no matter where it travels. This makes DRM ideal for protecting sensitive data across multiple environments, including external collaboration platforms, email exchanges, and cloud storage.
