Case Study: Argus Media preserves subscription revenue and protects intellectual property with Vitrium Security (Vitrium)

Argus Media - Customer Case Study

Argus Media, a London-based provider of price assessments and market data for energy and commodities, faced significant revenue loss from the illegal distribution of its PDF reports—especially in markets like Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan and Kazakhstan—because reports were sent as unsecured PDF attachments. To address this, Argus Media turned to Vitrium and its Vitrium Security DRM solution to protect its subscription-based content.

Using Vitrium Security since 2010, Argus Media applies DRM policies such as user-specific watermarks, copy and print control, device limits, expiry dates and encryption, and leverages Vitrium’s audit logs and analytics dashboard to track opens, frequency and IP addresses. Vitrium’s controls have helped stop unauthorized copying and resale, preserve Argus Media’s revenue streams and provide actionable usage data to optimize content and reader engagement.
