Print Security

Protect your network. Secure your data. Eliminate the blind spots.

Today’s printers and multifunction devices are intelligent network endpoints that create, store, and transmit sensitive information — extending your Document Security strategy beyond the device. Print security ensures documents remain protected across devices, users, and workflows, from creation through output. It functions as the output management layer of your information lifecycle, protecting documents across devices, users, networks, and workflows. Because printers sit at the intersection of users, data, and workflows, securing the print environment is a critical component of a comprehensive information security strategy.

KDI helps reduce risk, support compliance, and streamline workflows by securing every endpoint in your print environment — not just computers and servers. Print security works alongside Managed Print Services to provide ongoing visibility, device governance, and proactive protection across your environment.

In connected business environments, unsecured print devices can create risks across workflows, users, networks, and sensitive information environments. Print security helps organizations strengthen visibility, governance, compliance, and operational control across the print environment.

Smart App Integration

Enhance security and productivity by connecting your print devices to the platforms your team already uses. Scan and print directly from tools like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SharePoint, QuickBooks, Clio, Canvas, and Blackboard—reducing manual steps and eliminating the risks of saving files locally or emailing documents unsecured.

Why Print Security Matters

Organizations often overlook printers and multifunction devices as part of their broader security strategy. In hybrid and connected work environments, unsecured print devices can expose sensitive information, create compliance risks, and introduce vulnerabilities across workflows and business systems.

Common print security challenges include:

  • Unsecured shared printers and devices
  • Confidential documents left unattended
  • Outdated firmware and unsupported devices
  • Unauthorized access to scanned or printed information
  • Print-related compliance and audit concerns
  • Network-connected devices operating outside security policies

Print security helps organizations protect sensitive information while improving visibility, governance, and operational consistency across the print environment.

Print Security FAQs

Print security helps protect printers, multifunction devices, scanned documents, and printed information from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and compliance risks across the document lifecycle.

Modern printers and multifunction devices store, transmit, and process sensitive information while connected to business networks. Without proper security controls, they can create vulnerabilities across workflows, users, and connected systems.

A Print Security Assessment evaluates device configurations, firmware status, user access controls, workflow risks, network exposure, and overall print environment security to identify vulnerabilities and improvement opportunities.

Yes. Print security helps organizations support compliance initiatives by improving access controls, audit visibility, secure printing practices, firmware management, and document protection across the print environment.

Print security helps organizations manage secure printing, scanning, document access, and output controls across office, hybrid, and remote work environments while maintaining visibility and governance.

Managed Print Services help organizations maintain visibility, governance, monitoring, firmware management, and operational consistency across the print environment, while print security focuses on protecting devices, workflows, and sensitive information.
