DRM Consulting
Choosing DRM or technical content protection is not a purely technical decision. A protection that is too strict will block legitimate platforms, devices, or users and generate support overhead. A protection that is too weak will be routinely bypassed. The right answer depends on how your content is distributed, how it is being accessed without authorisation, and which trade-offs you can accept. We assess the distribution model and the actual circumvention risks, then recommend specific measures that address the genuine exposure — not a generic checklist.
How it works
Distribution audit
We map how your content reaches authorised users: platforms, file formats, access controls, device types, and the terms under which licences are granted.
Threat analysis
We identify where the current protection is failing or where circumvention is occurring, with specific findings rather than broad categories. Where the risks are not yet materialised, we assess which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited given your distribution model.
Protection recommendations
We specify which DRM systems or technical measures fit your model, note their limitations, and flag any that would conflict with legitimate use — so the trade-offs are visible before implementation begins.
Implementation review
We advise on integrating the recommended protection into your existing delivery infrastructure and check compatibility with the platforms and devices your authorised users actually use.
Who it's for
Rights holders moving into digital distribution or finding that existing protection is not holding: content studios, software vendors, e-learning providers, publishers, and platform operators.
