Screen Protection

Data Masking

The concept originated from Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies developed in the early 2000s to protect intellectual property in industries such as media production, government defense systems, and confidential legal documentation.

As businesses began sharing highly sensitive documents online during Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), due diligence, fundraising, and litigation processes, traditional security controls like passwords and encryption were no longer sufficient to prevent visual data leaks such as screenshots, screen recordings, or shoulder surfing. This led to the evolution of Fence View technology, which allows users to view only a small portion of the document while masking the rest of the content.

Right2Datas Virtual Data Room (eDataroom) integrates advanced Fence View protection to ensure that users can review sensitive documents without exposing the entire content at once. The technology dynamically obscures most of the document and reveals only a movable viewing window, preventing unauthorized copying, screen capture attempts, or manual transcription of confidential data.

This feature is particularly critical in industries where data confidentiality and intellectual property protection are paramount, including investment banking, legal advisory, private equity, corporate restructuring, and IPO preparations.

Technical Implementation of Fence View

Our security mechanism relies on multiple advanced technologies working together to protect documents during viewing.

Dynamic Document Rendering

Documents are converted into secure visual layers rather than traditional downloadable files. Instead of displaying the entire document, the viewer renders a masked interface, revealing only a small visible portion controlled by the users cursor movement.

Sensitive areas outside the viewing window remain blurred or hidden, preventing bulk information exposure.

HTML5 Secure Rendering

The viewer integrates HTML5 secure document rendering, preventing browser-based download attempts and restricting common keyboard shortcuts.

Screen Capture Deterrence

The system also includes screen capture deterrence mechanisms, which detect and block attempts using common screenshot tools or screen recording software.

AES-256 Encryption

documents are protected through AES-256 encryption both in transit and at rest, ensuring the content remains encrypted throughout the viewing lifecycle.

Security Benefits of Fence View

Fence View significantly enhances the security posture of a Virtual Data Room by adding a visual layer of protection beyond traditional access control.

Protection Against Screenshot Theft

Fence View prevents users from capturing the entire document through screenshots or screen recording by exposing only a small portion of the content at a time.

Prevents Shoulder Surfing

In high-risk environments such as shared offices, airports, or conferences, Fence View ensures that nearby individuals cannot read sensitive information from a users screen.

Protects Intellectual Property

Businesses can safely share proprietary financial models, legal strategies, or trade secrets without risking full document exposure.

Limits Insider Threats

Even authorized users cannot quickly capture or copy the full document content, reducing the risk of internal data leaks.

Strengthens Compliance and Governance

Fence View supports compliance with data protection regulations such as ISO 27001, VAPT and corporate confidentiality agreements, ensuring sensitive business data remains protected during collaboration.

Technical Security Framework Behind Fence View

Right2Data implements Fence View using multiple advanced security layers and technical protocols.

Dynamic Content Masking

The document viewer overlays a masking layer that hides most of the document except for the cursor-controlled viewing area.

Secure HTML5 Document Rendering

Documents are rendered within a secure browser container rather than being downloaded as PDFs or Office files.

Canvas-Based Rendering Engine

Sensitive files are converted into canvas-rendered visual objects, preventing direct extraction of the document content.

Anti-Screen Capture Protection

The system disables common screenshot utilities and restricts browser extensions that attempt to capture document content.

Session Monitoring and Timeout Controls

Inactive sessions automatically terminate after a defined period, reducing the risk of unattended document exposure.

Watermark Integration

A dynamic watermark of Right2Data VDR containing the users email, IP address and timestamp is displayed on documents to discourage unauthorized sharing.

Real-World Security Application

Fence View has become an essential feature in high-stakes transactions such as M&A due diligence and investment negotiations, where hundreds of confidential documents are shared among multiple stakeholders.

During a private equity acquisition, financial statements, valuation reports and strategic roadmaps are often accessed by competing bidders. Fence View ensures that while bidders can review the documents, they cannot capture or redistribute the entire content outside the data room.

This capability significantly reduces the risk of corporate espionage, unauthorized disclosures and insider leaks.

Why Fence View Makes Right2Data VDR More Secure

While traditional document sharing platforms focus mainly on access permissions and encryption, Right2Data VDR adds a visual protection layer through Fence View technology.

This ensures that sensitive information is protected not only from external cyber threats but also from human-driven data leakage risks.

By combining Fence View, encryption, access control, activity tracking, detailed audit trails, and OTP authentication, Right2Data VDR delivers a multi-layered security architecture, making it one of the most secure and trusted Virtual Data Room platforms for due diligence, litigation and financial transactions.
