MyQ X's security approach is founded on the principle that security is not an afterthought but an integral part of the entire print management ecosystem. The platform implements a comprehensive defense strategy that protects data and workflows at every stage of the document lifecycle.
Zero Trust Architecture
Following the "never trust, always verify" methodology, MyQ X assumes that threats can exist both inside and outside of a network. Every connection, user, and device must be authenticated and authorized before accessing print resources, ensuring continuous verification throughout all interactions.
Three-Phase Protection Framework
MyQ X addresses security through three critical phases:
Securing Print Infrastructure
All supporting infrastructure is properly secured before any document is printed, including workstations, mobile devices, servers, networks, and printing devices.
Securing Print Workflows
Proven secure workflows including authenticated print release, job isolation, and comprehensive reporting prevent vulnerabilities that could leave organizations exposed.
Securing Printed Output
Continued protection through watermarking, digital signatures, and comprehensive audit logs that maintain traceability and encourage responsible user behavior.
Privacy by Design
Data protection is embedded into MyQ X's architecture from the ground up. The system minimizes data collection, implements strong encryption, and provides users with control over their personal information to ensure GDPR compliance and privacy protection.
Continuous Security Evolution
MyQ X maintains its security through regular updates, prompt vulnerability remediation, threat intelligence integration, and ongoing third-party security assessments and certifications.
This security-first approach ensures organizations can confidently deploy MyQ X knowing their sensitive information, compliance requirements, and operational continuity are protected by industry-leading security measures.
