Case Study: Penfold Research halts unauthorized sharing and protects subscription revenue with Vitrium Security

Penfold Research uses Vitrium Security to protect revenues generated from reports marketed to players in the office, education, and non-core business supplies markets in Australia and New Zealand

Penfold Research, an Australia-based market research and advisory firm, was seeing paying subscribers undermined by widespread unauthorized sharing of its subscription reports. To protect its intellectual property and enforce its subscription model, Penfold Research selected Vitrium, deploying Vitrium Security to secure distribution of its research content.

Using Vitrium Security’s DRM—secure PDFs with encryption, dynamic user watermarks, content expiry, device limits, copy controls and analytics—administrators now upload reports to a central dashboard and control access wherever files go. Vitrium helped Penfold Research significantly minimize unauthorized sharing, protect its IP, simplify administration, and gain reporting visibility into content usage, restoring confidence in its subscription sales.
