HaloCAD

HaloCAD is the only MPIP extension that automatically secures CAD files, protecting your IP and safeguarding your future.

Native MPIP extension to CAD files.

HaloCAD extends Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) to your CAD files, including complex multi-CAD integrations, securing your sensitive data without affecting the end-user experience.

Lifelong CAD encryption.

HaloCAD automatically applies MPIP authorization tags to CAD files at the point of origin, ensuring sensitive data is encrypted outside of your IT perimeter and only accessible by authorized users.

Flexible security settings.

HaloCAD enforces file security depending on the chosen MPIP sensitivity label, including read-only privileges, password-controlled access and admin-only use.

Secure CAD files wherever they go.

HaloCAD’s lifelong access control secures your priceless CAD files inside and outside your IT perimeter. HaloCAD protects sensitive IP data when shared with external partners across the production chain, so you can collaborate with peace of mind.

Automatic protection from leaks and attacks.

The average data breach costs $4.45 million1, but HaloCAD’s automatic data protection secures your sensitive CAD files even if they are leaked or stolen (i.e. cyber attacks). HaloCAD’s lifelong encryption and authorization controls ensure your revenue, reputation and resources are always protected from data breaches.
