Real Time Protection for Engineering Data

CAD files, DWG models, and IP secured at every moment.

Secure Your Engineering Assets Now

Global First

Un-hackable

Problem

Most cybersecurity tools can’t see them, secure them, or control them.

In today’s critical infrastructure and advanced manufacturing sectors, some of your most valuable data exists in the form of design files — CAD drawings, DWG files, source code, simulation models, medical device outputs, and sensor recordings.

Fall outside traditional data protection tools focused on Word, Excel, or PDF
Are routinely shared with suppliers, contractors, and project collaborators
Are too complex, too large, or too custom for standard DLP or encryption tools

CAD drawings, DWG files, source code, simulation models, medical device outputs, and sensor recordings.

Solution

The First of Its Kind, Anywhere in the World

GuardWare PROTECT-DESIGN is the only solution to persistently encrypt design files — even while in use.

CAD, DWG, and source code files remain encrypted at all times
Stolen or mishandled files become cryptographically unreadable
You can revoke access instantly, even after sharing externally
Your IP stays protected — wherever the file goes, and whoever has it

The solution is seamless for end users, works across complex file types, and is priced to support SMEs through to large primes.

This is not traditional file-at-rest encryption. GuardWare encrypts while the file is open, active, and being worked on — something no conventional solution can do.

Key Capabilities

Persistent in-use encryption for complex file types — CAD, DWG, STL, source code, and more
Real-time protection of entire project environments, including 3D models, engineering libraries, configuration files, and compiled outputs
Automatic encryption of all output files, regardless of file type or tool used
Remote kill switch — cryptographically destroy files via key revocation from a central console
Transparent integration with existing workflows — no changes required from engineers or developers

Already in Place

Your designs could be shared securely and revoked instantly
Even if an insider copied and leaked files, they couldn’t be opened
Project IP would remain secure across the full lifecycle — from drafting to decommission

With GuardWare PROTECT, data loss and data ransoming become things of the past.

Globally Unique

First in the world to deliver persistent, in-use encryption for design files
Works where others fail — on file types legacy security ignores
No user disruption — engineers and developers work as normal
Cross-industry impact — defence, critical infrastructure, aerospace, manufacturing
Protected IP — patent pending, with academic collaboration and commercial secrecy
