Security & Data Protection
Your intellectual property is protected with enterprise-grade security
Why xMarkings is Safer Than Email
We understand your concerns about uploading sensitive technical documents and intellectual property. Your data is significantly more secure on our platform than in email attachments.
- Email is inherently insecure: Emails can be intercepted, forwarded accidentally, stored on multiple servers, and accessed by email providers. Your technical files sent via email are vulnerable at every step.
- xMarkings provides controlled access: Only authorized team members and invited institutes can access your documents. No accidental forwarding, no unauthorized access.
- Audit trails: Every access, download, and modification is logged. You know exactly who accessed what and when.
