Prevent abandoned output
Hold jobs until the user is physically ready to collect them from an authorised device.
Authentication, release and print policy
Secure printing that protects documents without slowing people down.
Keep sensitive output under the control of the authorised user and give IT clearer oversight of who can access devices, functions and information.
PrivateReduce unattended confidential output
ControlledApply identity, permissions and policy
TraceableCreate useful audit and usage information
The print queue is part of information security
Protect the document from submission to collection.
A document can be securely stored and transmitted, then become exposed when it is printed to a shared device and left in the output tray. Secure release holds the job until the authorised user identifies themselves at an approved printer or multifunction device.
HAD-COPY combines that user journey with device permissions, administration and reporting. The goal is proportionate protection that works with your identity platform and policies while remaining straightforward enough for people to use every day.
Security people can actually follow
Reduce exposure at the device and beyond.
Controls work best when the user journey, administration and support model are considered together.
Limit device functions
Use role-appropriate access to control colour, scanning, copying or specialist functions where needed.
Create accountability
Record useful activity so administrators can investigate issues and understand how the environment is used.
Support safer behaviour
A consistent release workflow makes secure handling an ordinary part of printing instead of an exceptional step.
A proportionate security route
Connect policy, people and technology.
Assess
We review sensitive workflows, users, devices, identity systems and the points where documents may be exposed.
Configure
Authentication, release rules, permissions and administration are matched to the organisation’s policy and infrastructure.
Adopt
Testing, user communication and support help the secure workflow become a dependable everyday process.
Questions, answered
What organisations usually ask us.
Every environment is different, so we will always confirm the detail against your users, devices and workflow.
What is secure print release?
The print job is held rather than produced immediately. The authorised user identifies themselves at a suitable device before the pages are released.
Can staff use existing access cards?
Often, yes, depending on the card technology, identity platform, reader and print-management software. Compatibility is checked during design.
Does secure printing work across different printer brands?
Some platforms support mixed fleets, but capability varies by device and function. We confirm the supported route against the actual estate.
Is secure printing enough on its own?
No. It addresses an important part of document handling, but device configuration, network security, identity, retention and user policy also need attention.
