Whenever you share Autodesk AutoCAD or Inventor files with external partners or suppliers the intellectual property of your company is at risk.

HaloCAD® for Autodesk is a unique enhancement for Microsoft Purview Information Protection (aka Microsoft Information Protection or Azure Information Protection). It allows you to protect your sensitive CAD files whenever they leave your IT perimeter and are shared across your supply chain.

In addition, Autodesk AutoCAD and Inventor applications can seamlessly consume those files protected with Microsoft Purview Information Protection. As HaloCAD® enforces usage privileges defined by the protection label, the native user experience within the CAD application is preserved.

HaloCAD helps you to:

Secure your collaboration - HaloCAD® leverages Microsoft Purview Information Protection for minimizing security risks by enforcing compliance and access control in all your collaboration processes. It extends the security templates provided by Microsoft Purview Information Protection to protect sensitive CAD/PLM files throughout the design lifecycle. In addition, your collaboration partner can use the HaloCAD® Reader for read-only access for free (see available plan).
Provide Microsoft Purview Compliance for CAD - HaloCAD® comes as an easy to deploy plugin for your CAD application. Once HaloCADis registered as an application in your Microsoft Purview Information Protection tenant, the CAD user can access sensitivity labels seamlessly within the Autodesk AutoCAD or Inventor applications.
Support CMMC 2.0 Compliance - HaloCAD® satisfies Relevant Security Controls in NIST SP 800-171 and 800-53 for protecting the confidentiality of CUI in CAD files.
Hedge against ransomware - HaloCAD® goes beyond traditional threat detection and response by protecting sensitive data everywhere and anytime. Even when leaked by a cyber-attack, the files are protected by the Microsoft Purview Information Protection encryption, so unauthorized access is prevented.
