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
