NourNet, in partnership with DataPatrol, has announced the launch of Screen Watermarking as a Service, a managed solution designed to enhance screen security and protect sensitive data displayed on digital devices. The service is delivered through a locally hosted platform in Saudi Arabia, combining DataPatrol’s visual data protection technologies with NourNet’s managed cloud infrastructure.
This announcement reflects a growing demand for advanced data protection mechanisms that address risks associated with insider threats, particularly those involving unauthorized viewing, capture, or sharing of on-screen information.
Addressing Screen-Level Data Exposure
Traditional data loss prevention (Screen Watermarking as a Service) solutions often focus on files, networks, or endpoints, leaving screen-level exposure less controlled. Screen Watermarking as a Service introduces a different approach by securing the visual layer of data interaction.
At the core of the service is screen watermark technology, which dynamically overlays user-identifiable information, such as usernames, IP addresses, or timestamps, directly onto screens. This creates traceability and discourages unauthorized sharing of sensitive information.
In addition to watermarking, the solution includes mechanisms to restrict or monitor screen capture activities, helping organizations maintain control over how sensitive data is viewed and potentially recorded.
Key Features and Capabilities
The service integrates multiple components aimed at strengthening screen security and improving data visibility:
Low Resource Consumption
The Screen Watermark solution is designed to operate with minimal impact on system performance. It uses low CPU and memory resources, allowing organizations to deploy it across endpoints without affecting user productivity or device efficiency.
Customizable Watermarks
Administrators can configure watermarks in multiple formats, including text-based, image-based, and sliding text overlays. Attributes such as size, transparency, position, and displayed content can be adjusted to meet specific organizational and compliance requirements.
Granular Policy Control
The solution enables detailed policy configuration at the user or group level. Watermarks can be selectively applied based on specific applications or URLs, allowing organizations to implement precise and context-aware data protection policies.
Multi-OS Support
The service supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This ensures consistent protection of sensitive data across diverse enterprise environments and device types.
Managed and Locally Hosted Deployment
One of the distinguishing aspects of this offering is its delivery model. As a managed service provided by NourNet, Screen Watermarking as a Service is hosted locally within the Kingdom, aligning with data residency and compliance requirements.
This approach enables organizations to deploy advanced screen security controls without the need for complex in-house infrastructure or dedicated cybersecurity teams. NourNet handles implementation, monitoring, and ongoing management, allowing businesses to focus on core operations.
Supporting Compliance and Insider Threat Mitigation
With increasing regulatory requirements around data privacy and protection, organizations are under pressure to demonstrate control over sensitive information. Screen-level security plays a critical role in this context, particularly in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government.
By combining watermarking, capture prevention, and user activity monitoring, Screen Watermarking as a Service provides an additional layer of defense against insider threats, whether intentional or accidental.
Conclusion
The introduction of Screen Watermarking as a Service by NourNet and DATAPATROL represents a practical step toward addressing gaps in traditional data protection strategies. By focusing on screen security and offering a managed, locally hosted solution, the service provides organizations with tools to enhance data visibility, accountability, and compliance in an evolving threat landscape.
