Liquid Machines |

Liquid Machines is the leading provider of Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) solutions that persistently protect critical business content and audit usage while enabling collaboration. Liquid Machines were founded in 2001 by leaders in the content management and security industries who realized that for rights management to succeed in the enterprise, it was insufficient to simply protect information. The protection must be completely unobtrusive to end users and seamlessly fit into existing enterprise infrastructure.
Liquid Machine's Document Control and Email Control solutions allow companies in the consulting, financial services, government, manufacturing, and healthcare industries to share information securely, within any application, wherever it goes, throughout its lifecycle. Using ERM solutions, enterprises can satisfy today’s ever-increasing information security regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, NASD 2711, HIPAA and others, as well as implement and practice internal mandates for intellectual property security, product version control, or clinical data protection.
Liquid Machines Document Control
Secure your documents wherever they are used, sent, or stored.
Liquid Machines Document Control™ uses its patented Policy Droplet™ control to provide an intuitive, consistent user interface across more than 65 applications and file formats, including Microsoft Office, Visio, Sharepoint® and Adobe Acrobat, to persistently control access to and usage of electronic information throughout its lifecycle.
Liquid Machines Document Control software allows you to create policies that control who can read, edit and print business documents. Policies can be applied to secure documents by either the document writer or the enterprise. Protection remains with the document or excerpted portions of the document, for its entire life—no matter where it goes. All usage of secure documents is logged for auditing purposes, including unauthorized attempts to access, print, etc.

Liquid Machines Email Control
Enable secure messaging by automatically encrypting regulated information, intellectual property, or vulnerable company information. Liquid Machines Email Control software allows you to create policies that identify sensitive email. These polices control who can view, print and forward email and attached documents. Policies can be applied by the email writer or can be enforced automatically at the enterprise level. All usage of secured messaging is logged, and even unsuccessful attempted actions are recorded for auditing purposes.

Email distribution can be controlled and protected after delivery, regardless of whether it is located within or outside the company. The enterprise can centrally define policies based on user roles and workflow. Roles and policies can be changed as needed. Rights can be revoked and content can be expired – even to remote users (see below).
