Why it matters…
Regardless of how a leak or data spill happens, trusted insiders should beheld accountable for the data they are entrusted with. Whether forwarding a memo, taking a picture of a chart, or screenshotting an agreement, a leak of privileged information has serious consequences.

With EchoMark, invisible individualized watermarks are embedded in every document and message to make every piece of content traceable. When your people know they’re accountable—and every file can be traced back to its origin—leaks become far less likely.
