SealPath Elevates CAD Security with New Microsoft Purview Monitoring Dashboard and Expanded 2026 Software Support

The Bottom Line: Data-centric security leader SealPath has officially launched a comprehensive Monitoring Dashboard tailored for organizations securing CAD and engineering files via Microsoft Purview. By integrating Microsoft Purview Double Key Encryption (DKE) and ensuring full compatibility with top 2026 CAD applications, SealPath is delivering unparalleled, persistent protection for highly sensitive intellectual property.

Unprecedented Visibility: The New Monitoring Dashboard

For organizations that regularly share technical blueprints and proprietary designs with external suppliers, contractors, and internal teams, tracking that data post-distribution has traditionally been a challenge. SealPath’s new web-based dashboard solves this by giving IT, security, and engineering departments a centralized command center to monitor protected CAD assets.

The dashboard meticulously logs crucial document interactions, offering deep insights into how intellectual property is being handled in the wild. Key tracking features include:

  • Action Logging: Real-time tracking of file opens, copies, prints, and exports.
  • Threat Highlighting: Instant visibility into access attempts that were denied by active security protocols.
  • Advanced Filtering: Sort metrics by specific users, organizations, date ranges, operational types, or success/failure statuses.
  • Granular Session Forensics: Administrators can drill down into individual work sessions to view chronologically mapped actions, session duration, IP addresses, device types, and applied permissions.
  • Reporting Ready: All metrics and activity charts can be seamlessly exported to Excel or CSV formats for further analysis.
“Engineering organizations need to protect their designs without disrupting the CAD applications and collaboration workflows their teams rely on. With the new Monitoring Dashboard, organizations gain a clearer view of how protected CAD documentation is used, while maintaining the granular controls required to protect valuable intellectual property.”

Advanced Encryption and Refined Control

To meet the needs of organizations managing ultra-sensitive data, SealPath has integrated support for Microsoft Purview Double Key Encryption (DKE) specifically for CAD files. This feature ensures that enterprises retain absolute authority over their encryption keys, adding an extra layer of defense for mission-critical designs.

This integration natively extends Microsoft Purview’s usage policies directly into the CAD environment. Whether a file is viewed, edited, pasted, printed, or exported, these strict governance policies travel alongside the document—even when it leaves the corporate perimeter.

Furthermore, SealPath has actively refined the user experience within AutoCAD. Protected drawings can now be opened seamlessly within the same AutoCAD instance, preserving standard workflow behaviors and boosting performance. To prevent data leakage, strict copy-and-paste restrictions are applied at the individual file level, ensuring data cannot be cross-pollinated between drawings without explicit authorization.

Expanded Ecosystem Compatibility for 2026

Industrial, manufacturing, and engineering workflows cannot afford to be bottlenecked by outdated security compatibility. To support the latest industry tools, SealPath has expanded its protection umbrella to fully support the 2026 suite of major CAD applications, including files containing complex references and assemblies.

Supported environments now include:

AutoCAD 2026
AutoCAD Mechanical 2026
AutoCAD Electrical 2026
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2026
AutoCAD LT 2026
DWG TrueView 2026
SolidWorks 2026
SolidWorks PDM 2026

This robust compatibility ensures that enterprises can securely share intricate project files with external partners, while maintaining total operational visibility and the crucial ability to revoke access at any time.
