Clients and cases
Gammacard
The company
Gammacard was established in 1999. It is a part of the Cardhall Holding Company and provides the full range of plastic card products and services. In 2013, the company decided to protect the product user guides distributed on CDs from illegal copying and viewing, with the help of an easy-to-use solution.
The result
With the help of StarForce Content Disс, Gammacard has securely protected the PDF documents from accidental or intentional leakages. The solution allowed binding a protected document to a certain CD, which provided an unsurpassed level of protection from uncontrolled distribution and use of the materials by Gammacard’s clients, and minimized the risk of a trade secret disclosure.
BurService
The company
BurService is focused on drilling equipment sales. As a competitive advantage the company’s specialists translate and adapt special technical documentation to local conditions in order to support sales. These PDF documents need to be secured to prevent losing this competitive advantage.
The result
BurService uses all three variants of the StarForce PDF Secure solution. In 2003 the company started to distribute copy protected PDF files with CD binding. Several years later they added PDF security on CD and email with online activation and in 2017 ordered first USB sticks. It helps to provide protected documents to the client with different demands.
