Use cases
Confidential board video that cannot leak without a trail.
Results, deals and restructures cannot reach the press early. SealCopy gives each board member and leader their own marked copy, so a results leak points to 1 copy and not to the whole room.
What is the risk with board video security?
Board video security fails in a quiet way. A recording of a briefing is sent to 8 people by link or attachment. It is forwarded, downloaded and saved. Nothing in the file says who has it.
If the content later appears in the press, the company has a list of everyone who could have seen it and nothing to narrow it down. The investigation becomes a round of awkward conversations.
For a listed company the stakes are higher. Some information is price sensitive, and the rules around it are legal, not only reputational. Speak to your general counsel about what applies to you. SealCopy is a tool for the trail. It is not legal advice.
Which board and company videos does SealCopy protect?
Results and trading updates
The finance team records a briefing before the numbers are public. Each person on the list gets a private link and a marked copy. A results leak can then be traced to a copy.
M&A and deal briefings
A small group sees the deal story. Every view is logged, and the sender can switch a link off the moment the group changes.
Restructures and redundancy announcements
Leaders receive the message before their teams do. Each leader signs in with a code, or with company sign-in, before they can watch.
CEO town-hall video
The recording goes to a review group before release. Names move across the picture, and a hidden mark stays in it.
Investor update recordings
A draft goes to named advisers and directors. The sender sees who has watched and who has not, and can send a reminder.
Each recipient needs no app and no account. See how SealCopy keeps video secure for the encryption and sign-in details, and how marked copies are made and read for the full path.
Who uses it?
- The company secretary or the CEO's office uploads the video, chooses the recipients and sends it.
- Directors and executives watch on their own device after a sign-in. They do nothing else.
- The general counsel or head of security opens a case if a clip leaks. They upload the clip and receive a report: which copy, how sure we are, and the evidence trail. The report can be exported.
An example: the week before results
The company secretary sends the results briefing to the board and the senior leadership. Each person has their own link. Two days later the CEO's office sends the draft town-hall video to a small review group.
A passage from the briefing appears on a news site before results day. The general counsel opens a case and uploads the clip. SealCopy names 1 copy and shows the sign-in, device, network and time around it. The counsel now has a record to take into a careful, private conversation, and to discuss with the company's advisers.
What will it not do?
- It shows whose copy leaked, not who held the phone. An account can be shared or hacked, so the strongest case is several clues that agree.
- It cannot stop a phone from filming a screen. It makes the act traceable. A very poor recording can make the mark harder to read, and then we say how sure we are.
- It gives evidence, not a verdict. It does not decide what the law requires of you. Take legal advice before you act on a leak. What to do when a video leaks is a calm checklist for the first 24 hours.
Questions boards ask
Can directors use their existing sign-in?
SealCopy can ask for a code by email or phone, or use company sign-in. Ask us in a demo how that fits your setup.
Can a link be switched off?
Yes. The sender can switch any link off at any time, for example when someone leaves the working group.
Is this legal advice or compliance cover?
No. SealCopy is a tool for sending video and tracing a leak. Your general counsel decides what the rules require.
