Case Study: Chemical Manufacturing Company achieves persistent document control and regulatory compliance with Seclore Rights Management

Chemical Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Chemical Manufacturing Company, a leading manufacturer with operations in 17 countries and 23 plants, struggled with loss of control over sensitive documents once content was downloaded from its IBM Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system. Internal users and external partners could view, copy and forward downloaded files, exposing confidential agreements, specifications and pricing and leaving the company unable to fully demonstrate regulatory compliance. To close this gap the company turned to Seclore and its Rights Management / Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) solution.

Seclore implemented its EDRM Connector for IBM ECM to automatically attach persistent, information-centric usage rights (who/what/when/where), enable remote revocation and expiry, and provide a complete audit trail. As a result, Chemical Manufacturing Company can enforce granular, role-based controls on documents after download, maintain end-to-end protection during external collaboration, and produce auditable evidence for compliance — restoring control over sensitive information and reducing the risk of data leakage.
