About Us
In today’s connected world, sharing private information is essential for organizations to succeed. However, the challenge of keeping sensitive data secure has only grown, leading to regular leaks—even within top-tier organizations. This breakdown of trust disrupts communication and causes significant harm to people and businesses.
EchoMark offers a game-changing solution: we embed invisible, forensic markings in documents, personalized for each recipient. These markings don't disrupt information flow but allow leaks to be traced back to their source. The presence of EchoMark fosters trust, accountability, and better stewardship of private information.
We believe the future of information sharing lies in personalizing private data for each recipient, ensuring it stays secure while enabling teams to work effectively.
