Protect Engineering and Product Data Across Siemens Teamcenter with NextLabs SkyDRM
As engineering data is shared across employees, suppliers, contractors, and partners, organizations face growing risks from IP theft, insider misuse, unauthorized disclosure, supply chain attacks, and regulatory compliance requirements. Traditional PLM security controls typically stop at the Teamcenter boundary, leaving critical product data vulnerable once files are downloaded or shared externally.Â
NextLabs SkyDRM for Siemens Teamcenter delivers zero trust data-centric security for product designs, CAD files, technical documents, source code, and other intellectual property managed in Teamcenter. By combining enterprise digital rights management (E-DRM), encryption, and policy-based controls, organizations can protect sensitive data even after it leaves Teamcenter while enabling secure collaboration across the extended enterprise.Â
Key Capabilities
- Automated Rights Protection – Automatically encrypt and protect files managed in Teamcenter based on data classifications and security labels, extending security controls beyond the Teamcenter repository and throughout the product data lifecycle.Â
- Secure Data Sharing – Enable secure collaboration by protecting product data before it is shared with employees, suppliers, contractors, and partners, ensuring information remains protected both inside and outside the organization.Â
- Access & Usage Controls – Enforce granular controls on protected files, including access, printing, copying, re-sharing, screen capture, and time-based permissions, allowing organizations to maintain control over how sensitive information is used.Â
- Protection for Engineering File Formats – Protect native engineering and business file formats, including 2D and 3D CAD files, Siemens NX and JT data formats, source code, Microsoft Office documents, and PDF files.Â
- Secure Viewing Anywhere – Enable authorized users to securely view protected content from web, desktop, mobile devices, including browser-based access from any device with an HTML 5 browser.Â
- Monitoring & Activity Reporting – Track how sensitive product data is accessed, shared, and used through centralized monitoring, reporting, and auditing, providing full visibility into IP data sharing across the extended enterprise.Â
- Centralized Policy Management – Manage protection policies, controls, and reporting through a centralized platform, enabling consistent governance and visibility across Teamcenter-managed content.Â

SkyDRM for Siemens Teamcenter Solutions & Integrations
Teamcenter Digital Rights Management (DRM)Â
Extends Teamcenter PLM security throughout the product data lifecycle by automatically encrypting and protecting files based on Teamcenter classifications and security labels. Supports secure collaboration using native applications such as Siemens NX, JT2Go, and Solid Edge while maintaining protection on shared product data.
Automatically protects files managed in Teamcenter before they are shared internally or externally. Embedded security labels, access controls, and auditing capabilities ensure product data remains protected beyond Teamcenter boundaries.Â
Integrates directly with Siemens NX through a Rights Management Extension (RMX), allowing authorized users to work with protected files natively within NX. The solution delivers classification-based rights protection, granular access and usage controls, persistent protection, dynamic watermarking, and anti-screen capture capabilities to safeguard sensitive engineering data throughout the design lifecycle.Â
Built on a Unified Security Platform
All SkyDRM for Siemens Teamcenter solutions are built on NextLabs CloudAz, enabling organizations to apply consistent security policies, monitoring, and governance across Teamcenter-managed content. A centralized management framework provides visibility into how sensitive product data is accessed, shared, and used across employees, suppliers, contractors, and partners, helping organizations quickly identify unusual access patterns or behavior to prevent breaches, misuse, and policy violations.Â
Protect Product IP Across the Extended Enterprise
Whether product data is shared across engineering teams, suppliers, manufacturing partners, or joint ventures, NextLabs SkyDRM for Siemens Teamcenter extends protection beyond the PLM environment to safeguard intellectual property wherever it travels. Organizations can collaborate confidently while maintaining visibility, control, and compliance across the entire product data lifecycle.Â
