A surprising amount of sensitive data lives inside images: scanned contracts, screenshots of dashboards, photos of documents. Text-only DLP is blind to all of it. Optical character recognition (OCR) closes the gap — but where it runs matters.
The problem with cloud OCR
Many tools ship images to a cloud OCR service for analysis. That adds latency, cost, and a privacy problem: your sensitive content leaves the device to be inspected. For regulated data, that is often a non-starter.
OCR on the endpoint
Siberson Verikor performs OCR locally, on the device, across 200+ file formats and images — no OCR server, and nothing leaves the endpoint. Sensitive text in a screenshot or scan is detected and policy is applied in real time.
Why it is a signature capability
On-device OCR is uncommon among DLP tools and a genuine differentiator: it protects data that would otherwise slip through as an image, while preserving privacy and performance.
