Not every leak is a file. Sometimes an insider simply photographs the screen or takes a screenshot. No file-level control can stop a camera — but a visible deterrent can.

The analogue hole

Once information is on a display, it can be captured by a phone or a print-screen. This analogue hole is a blind spot for classic DLP and classification alike.

Dynamic on-screen watermarks

Veriket overlays a dynamic watermark carrying the user's identity and time on sensitive documents. Anyone tempted to photograph the screen knows the image points straight back to them — a powerful deterrent, and useful attribution if a leak occurs.

A signature capability

On-screen watermarking is uncommon among competitors and frequently an RFP requirement in defence, finance and public-sector work.
