PaperCut MF. Secure print management for access control, document release, auditing, cost visibility and reduced information exposure.

Why print remains a security surface

Printed documents can contain regulated or confidential information and are often left unattended. A secure print program connects identity, device policy, release controls and audit evidence so printing is treated as an accountable workflow.

Capabilities to evaluate

  • Secure release through identity or approved device workflows.
  • Rules for users, groups, departments and sensitive printers.
  • Print auditing, quotas, reporting and cost allocation.
  • Follow-me printing and controlled document release.
  • Integration with directory services and existing print infrastructure.

Implementation priorities

Inventory printers, user groups, sensitive document flows and retention requirements. Define exceptions, administrator roles and the evidence needed to investigate a document or print event.

Start a technical evaluation

Request an architecture conversation through the demo page. Define identity, print devices, policy groups, integrations and acceptance criteria.

Control criteria: validate secure release, identity integration, audit coverage and exception governance before broad deployment.
