PaperCut Print Management Software to Enhance Print Security

Securing your organisation’s printing infrastructure is more critical than ever. With the rise of cyber threats and data breaches, print security is an essential aspect of a comprehensive IT security strategy. PaperCut print management software provides robust security features to protect sensitive documents, prevent unauthorised access and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

The Risks of Unsecured Printing

Many organisations underestimate the vulnerabilities associated with print environments. Unsecured printing can lead to:

  • Data breaches – Confidential documents left in print trays can be accessed by unauthorised personnel.
  • Unauthorised printing – Without authentication, anyone can print sensitive information.
  • Waste and inefficiency – Unclaimed print jobs result in wasted paper and ink, increasing costs.
  • Non-compliance risks – Industries such as healthcare, finance and legal require strict adherence to data protection laws like GDPR.

How PaperCut Enhances Print Security

PaperCut offers multiple security features that help businesses safeguard their print environment effectively:

  1. Secure Print Release

With PaperCut’s secure print release, documents are only printed when the authorised user releases them at the printer. This prevents sensitive documents from being left unattended and accessible to unauthorised users.

  1. User Authentication and Access Control

PaperCut supports various authentication methods, including PIN codes, swipe cards and biometric authentication. This ensures that only authorised employees can access and print sensitive information.

  1. Print Job Tracking and Auditing

Comprehensive tracking and reporting features allow IT administrators to monitor print activity, ensuring accountability and identifying potential security breaches.

  1. Watermarking and Digital Signatures

PaperCut can add watermarks and digital signatures to printed documents, helping organisations trace document sources and deter unauthorised copying or distribution.

  1. End-to-End Encryption

All print jobs are encrypted from the user’s device to the printer, ensuring data security during transmission and preventing interception by cybercriminals.

  1. Automatic Print Job Deletion

Unclaimed print jobs can be automatically deleted after a set period, reducing the risk of sensitive documents being left unattended.

  1. Mobile and BYOD Printing Security

As remote and hybrid working become more prevalent, PaperCut offers secure mobile and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) printing solutions, ensuring employees can print safely from any location without compromising security.
