Through its partnership with Ricoh, GP&C deployed Fasoo’s data-centric security platform to protect sensitive information across the enterprise. The company implemented Fasoo Enterprise DRM for Node (FED-N) and Fasoo Enterprise DRM for Mobile (FED-M) to ensure persistent data-centric protection and access controls on critical files, whether they were stored on desktops, servers, or mobile devices. These solutions automatically applied protection as files were created, assigning predefined permissions that dictated whether a user could view, edit, print, or capture screens. This allowed engineers to continue working with CAD designs while ensuring that sensitive data could not be misused or shared beyond authorized personnel.

To further safeguard information in physical form, GP&C adopted Fasoo Smart Print (FSP). This solution applied dynamic watermarks to printed documents, displaying company and user details to deter unauthorized distribution and providing accountability for every print action. Exceptions were put in place for operational necessities, such as shipping labels and customer-required documentation, so that security did not interfere with critical workflows. Administrators and department heads were able to manage policies centrally, update or revoke access to files at any time, and set automatic expiration dates for time-sensitive information.

Together, FED-N, FED-M, and FSP delivered continuous, data-centric protection from the point of creation through collaboration and sharing, ensuring that GP&C could maintain control of its intellectual property and customer data without disrupting productivity.
