Secure release
Hold work until the authorised user is present, reducing sensitive pages left unattended.
Device, document and user security
Treat every printer as part of your security perimeter.
Printers and multifunction devices process valuable information every day. We help organisations reduce avoidable exposure without making routine work unnecessarily difficult.

InformationProtect jobs in transit, storage and output trays
Close the everyday gaps
Print security is more than a PIN at the panel.
A modern multifunction device is connected to users, networks, directories, email, cloud services and stored documents. That makes configuration, access, updates and end-of-life handling important parts of the wider security picture.
We work with your IT and information-governance requirements to configure appropriate controls. The aim is proportionate protection: stronger where information is sensitive and straightforward enough that users follow the process.
Reduce exposure at each stage
Protect the job from submission to collection.
No single setting solves print security. A useful approach combines people, device configuration and document workflow.
Controlled functions
Set appropriate permissions for printing, scanning, copying, address books and administrative settings.
Safer connectivity
Review protocols, certificates, encryption and destinations as part of network integration.
Managed lifecycle
Keep configuration, firmware and data handling in view throughout support and eventual device removal.
Security made practical
Align print controls with real risk.
Assess
We identify users, information types, integrations, policies and current areas of exposure.
Configure
Controls are selected and documented around proportionate access and workable user journeys.
Maintain
Supported devices, administration and change processes help the security position remain useful over time.
Questions, answered
What organisations usually ask us.
Every environment is different, so we will always confirm the detail against your users, devices and workflow.
Are office printers really a cyber-security risk?
They are networked devices that process, transmit and sometimes store information. Poor passwords, outdated software, unnecessary services and unattended output can all create avoidable exposure.
What is secure print release?
A submitted job is held until the user authenticates at an approved device. This reduces abandoned output and can allow work to follow the user.
Can printer access use our existing user directory?
Many solutions can integrate with organisational identity services or card systems. Compatibility and the required user experience must be confirmed.
What happens to stored data when a device is removed?
End-of-life handling should be agreed in advance. Depending on the device, this can include secure overwrite, storage removal or a documented disposal process.
