IP Protection Across Your Supply Chain
Your engineering IP travels further than you track, across partners, suppliers, and now the AI agents. ARMOR governs what reaches it, and proves every control held.
Trusted by industry-leading enterprises
Most tools tell you your IP is at risk. ARMOR makes sure it isn’t.
Manufacturers need more than a list of exposed files. The real gap is what happens after: a blueprint leaving without persistent protection, a supplier who still has access six months after a contract ended, an AI agent scanning process specs no one classified. ARMOR closes every one of those gaps.
Why manufacturers choose ARMOR
Blueprint protection, supply chain control, and export compliance proof.
One platform built for how manufacturing IP moves across people, systems, and AI.
Export Compliance
ARMOR classifies every blueprint and spec against ITAR and EAR so your export record is always ready when regulators ask.
IP Protection
Designs shared with contract manufacturers stay protected, tracked, and revocable at every supplier tier, including after delivery.
AI Data Governance
AI is already reading your engineering data before you govern it. ARMOR intercepts sensitive blueprints and specs before they reach any AI model.
Protect the IP your products depend on
IP Discovery & Classification
ARMOR scans every plant and engineering system, classifying every blueprint, process spec, and BOM in context: what it contains, who owns it, and which supplier tier it has reached.
Supply Chain Data Control
Designs shared with contract manufacturers and tier-two suppliers stay protected after delivery. ARMOR tracks every access event and lets you revoke permissions at any time, on any device.
Insider Risk & Workforce Transitions
When an engineer exits, ARMOR already holds a timestamped record of every file accessed and every protection applied. Legal has the evidence before they ask for it.
Compliance & Export Control
ARMOR maps every sensitive file to the export control frameworks governing it: ITAR, EAR, and industry-specific standards. Every control logged so audits never catch you unprepared.

American Auto Co.
“We use Seclore for our RFP/RFQs where we need to share confidential designs to suppliers (who also service our competitors). Once the contract is awarded, Seclore enables us to revoke access to the CAD files and other requirement documents from the other suppliers — drastically reducing the risk of competitive theft.”
