Document Encryption​

SHIELD DRM service provides encryption for File Documents and protects organizations from data breaches through a Document Centric Security and a shared responsibility model.

Document Encryption Method​

Microsoft 365 users apply MIP labels when uploading files to OneDrive/SharePoint.

When you upload an existing DRM encrypted document, SHIELD DRM automatically converts it to a MIP document.

*MIP (Microsoft Information Protection) is Microsoft's information protection and management solution, used to protect and manage organizational data through labels, classification, and security policies.*

SHIELD DRM Security linkage and Cloud-Native EncryptionProcess​

  1. Upload DRM files to the File Document environment such as Teams and OneDrive.
  2. SHIELD DRM automatically converts the uploaded DRM documents into MIP (Microsoft Information Protection) documents.
  3. The converted MIP document can be viewed/edited/co-edited in the Microsoft365 environment.

Providing DRM integration and compatibility on local PC​

You can convert DRM documents to MIP or vice versa through the Document Security 365 feature.

Main Features:

  • Document Conversion via DRM / MIP through Mouse Right-Click Shell Menu
  • Mapping DRM policy and MIP policy to provide conversion to each associated encryption policy.

In Document Security 365, the icon of documents with MIP labels is displayed, and you can check the encryption status by the label color.

Operating Environment and Precautions​

  • Document Security 365 feature is included in the SHIELD DRM plan, and you must subscribe to Microsoft Business Premium or a plan of E3 or higher to use it.
