New software from Perimele brings security and total document control to Law Firms using MS Office.

Any firm using MS Office applications such as Word, Excel or Powerpoint can now ensure confidentiality of information with a security add-in that controls who can save, copy, forward or print documents, and when they can access them. (Includes protection against screen shots of documents and prevents recipients from pasting material into other documents).

Perimele's unique Protector Add-In for Microsoft Office brings speed and security to collaborative work and communication of sensitive information.

(1) Ensures confidentiality of both work in progress and completed documentation.

(2) Secures and speeds up collaboration and review processes, while users continue to benefit from the functionality and convenience of the usual MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

(3) Makes sensitive information available only to those who need it, and, if required, only at times when they need it.

(4) Allows specific users immediate access to the documents they need, while ensuring that they do not pass documents or their contents to unauthorised parties - even those that they are authorised to edit.

(5) Ensures that out of date information can no longer be used and that information to be released in future cannot be accessed until its release date.

(6) Makes it easy and convenient for workers to work securely in the standard MS Office environment, ensuring that security is always used:

(6a) Document authors set access and usage rights and share work in the same way as usual with authorised recipients, without hassle or delay.

(6b) Secure documents can be used without a network or Internet connection -- ideal for travel.

(7) Is implemented easily and economically, with no server requirements and no need for system administration.

(8) Increases others confidence in an organisation by demonstrating its fulfilment of its duty to keep clients or partners information secure, during and after the period of a contract, ensuring that confidential information:

(8a) is not used out of context;
(8b) is not re-used in other projects;
(8c) is not taken on to other companies by employees or contractors;
(8d) is not left sitting on employees hard drives to be discovered and potentially misused later;
(8e) is not passed on to competitors or other third parties.
