Your Designs Are Worth Millions — Are They Protected?
Architectural firms create some of the most valuable IP in any industry — building designs, 3D models, structural plans, and project specifications worth millions. A single breach can leak unreleased designs to competitors or hold your BIM server hostage.
CAD workstations, BIM servers, cloud collaboration platforms, and project management tools all need protection. Intello secures the creative process without slowing it down.

Key Security Challenges
Design IP Theft
CAD files, 3D models, and BIM data stolen by competitors, disgruntled employees, or hackers.
Collaboration Risks
Sharing designs with clients, contractors, and consultants via cloud platforms with weak access controls.
Ransomware
BIM servers and project archives encrypted — halting active projects and threatening deadlines.
Endpoint Exposure
Powerful CAD workstations with large attack surfaces, often running outdated software.
Client Confidentiality
Sensitive client project details, site plans, and commercial information requiring strict protection.
Remote Work Risks
Architects working from home and on-site accessing design servers over insecure connections.
How We Help
DLP
Preventing unauthorised sharing of CAD files, BIM models, and design specifications.
EDR
Endpoint protection for high-powered CAD workstations and design servers.
ISO 27001
ISMS implementation protecting design IP and client data systematically.
VAPT
Testing BIM servers, cloud collaboration platforms, and client portals.
SOC Services
Security monitoring for design infrastructure and file servers.
Cloud Security
Securing Autodesk, BIM 360, SharePoint, and other collaboration platforms.
MDM
Managing laptops and tablets used on construction sites and client meetings.
Incident Response
Rapid recovery for ransomware and data theft — keeping projects on track.
Backup & Recovery
Automated backup strategies for BIM servers and project archives.
Security Training
Awareness programs for architects and staff — phishing, file sharing, client data.
Case Study
Architecture Practice — 80+ Staff, 3 Offices
Challenge
Design files shared via personal cloud accounts, no DLP, BIM server accessible remotely without MFA, and a competitor obtained leaked preliminary designs.
Solution
Intello deployed DLP across all endpoints, EDR on CAD workstations, ISO 27001, secure cloud collaboration, MDM for site devices, and MFA everywhere.
Results
Zero design leaks since deployment
DLP blocking 150+ unauthorised file transfers monthly
BIM servers secured with MFA and monitoring
ISO 27001 certified
MDM managing 100+ devices across offices and sites
Staff security awareness score improved 85%
