Your platform controls files inside.
PPAD controls them after they leave.

Embed persistent DRM-grade file protection into your portal, VDR, or cloud storage platform via API, without rebuilding your architecture or disrupting your users.

Every platform that lets users download files has a gap at the point of download

Your access controls, permissions, and security policies work inside your platform. The moment a user downloads a file, those controls stop. The file is now on their device, and you have no visibility, no ability to update permissions, and no way to revoke access.

That gap is a problem for your customers who need to demonstrate that sensitive documents stayed protected. It's a growing problem as AI tools make downloaded files easier to extract and repurpose. And it's a competitive gap: platforms that offer protection after download provide a meaningfully stronger security promise.

Built for platform teams

VDRs and secure document portals

Files are controlled inside the room. PPAD extends that control after documents are exported, downloaded, or shared in follow-up communications. Offer customers end-to-end confidentiality, not just in-room security.

Cloud storage platforms

Users download, move, and reshare files constantly. PPAD keeps protection attached to files after they leave your environment, without changing storage architecture or user workflows.

SaaS platforms delivering content

Reports, analyses, data exports, and generated documents delivered through your product can be protected, tracked, and revoked after download, embedded directly into your delivery layer via API.

High-volume programmatic workflows

Encrypt large file libraries automatically at the point of delivery. Set per-recipient permissions, track access, and manage revocation at scale without manual intervention.

What you get by building on PPAD

API-first, fits your architecture

Integrate once. Protection applies automatically at the point of delivery. Files stay in your storage environment: PPAD wraps protection around them without moving files out of your infrastructure.

DRM-grade protection without building DRM

Persistent encryption, access control, revocation, and tracking, without a multi-year DRM infrastructure project. PPAD is the layer you don't have to build.

Simple access for your users

Recipients access protected files in a browser or via a lightweight extension. No complex agent installs. Your product experience stays intact.

Post-download visibility

Track file access and activity after delivery: opens, views, and engagement from wherever the file was accessed. Available for your customers to review.

Real-time webhooks

Subscribe to file and recipient lifecycle events. Build automated responses into your product when permissions change, files are deleted, or access is revoked.

Data residency and deployment options

For platforms with strict regulatory or deployment requirements, PPAD supports data residency controls and on-premise deployment models.
