Many companies use document management systems to store business files. These systems help organize documents, manage workflows, and control access inside the company.
But one problem remains.
After someone downloads a file, the document management system usually loses control over it. The file can be copied, shared, printed, or uploaded to other websites.
VeryDRM Content Security Platform solves this problem. It protects documents, videos, audio files, images, and other digital content even after they leave your document management system.
This article explains how VeryDRM works with SharePoint, Alfresco, Nuxeo, OpenKM, LogicalDOC, and many other enterprise document management platforms.

Why Enterprise Document Management Systems Need DRM
Most document management platforms control access before a file is downloaded.
After download, the protection often ends.
That creates security risks.
Examples include:
- Employees emailing confidential documents
- Contractors keeping files after a project ends
- Customers sharing purchased reports
- Partners forwarding technical documents
- Former employees keeping company files
- Vendors printing confidential documents
These situations happen every day.
Traditional permission settings cannot stop them.
