SkyDRM for Microsoft

Protect Files and Emails Across Microsoft Platforms with NextLabs Data-Centric Security

NextLabs SkyDRM delivers real-time, persistent data protection across Microsoft collaboration and communication platform. Through a Rights Management Extension (RMX), SkyDRM integrates with SharePoint, SharePoint Online, and Exchange to automatically protect sensitive files and email as they are shared, while authorized users continue to work with protected content natively in their Microsoft applications, and protection travels with the data regardless of its location. Built on the NextLabs CloudAz policy platform, SkyDRM also provides centralized management, control, and activity analytics.

SkyDRM helps organizations secure sensitive design data, support regulatory compliance, and enable trusted collaboration by applying controls such as

  • Automated rights protection (tag and encrypt)
  • Classification-driven protection using existing Microsoft labels
  • Access and usage control over protected content
  • Native experience in Microsoft applications
  • Centralized monitoring and auditing

Why Use SkyDRM for Microsoft?

  • Protection at the Source: Automatically protect files and email attachments before they are shared or downloaded.

  • Persistent Protection: Encryption and usage rights travel with the file wherever it goes, inside or outside the organization.

  • Classification-Driven: Rights are determined by existing Microsoft classifications and labels, including SharePoint security labels and Microsoft Purview Information Protection.

  • Native Experience: Authorized users work with protected content in their Microsoft applications, including SharePoint, Outlook, and Outlook Web App.

  • Compliance & Audit: Centralize monitoring, reporting, and policy governance across all protected design data.
