Secure Detectable Paper for IP Protection and Classified Documents
Despite advanced cybersecurity frameworks, sensitive information becomes physically vulnerable the moment it exists on paper. Semiconductor design files, wafer fabrication processes, classified reports, proprietary R&D documentation, and confidential government materials can leave secure zones as hardcopy - beyond the control of digital encryption, firewalls, or network monitoring. Once information is printed, annotated, reviewed, or drafted on paper, it can be copied, photographed, concealed, or removed without detection unless physical safeguards are in place. According to a Globes article on theft of smart documents, printed documents continue to be a major leakage vector.
TAGIT AntiLeak Secure Paper embeds patented, soft-magnetic microwires directly within the paper substrate, transforming sensitive hardcopy documents into detectable security assets. This enables organizations to implement physical data leak prevention at secure exits, ensuring intellectual property and classified materials cannot leave controlled zones unnoticed.
Patented Embedded Microwire Detection Technology
TAGIT AntiLeak Secure Paper integrates patented soft-magnetic microwires directly within the paper substrate. The microwires are fully embedded during production, creating a discreet but highly detectable security layer inside every sheet.This embedded structure enables reliable detection at controlled exits using EM EAS systems and high-sensitivity metal detectors even when documents are folded, concealed, or carried inside bags.By transforming standard paper into a detectable security medium, AntiLeak Secure Paper provides physical protection for intellectual property, classified documents, and sensitive hardcopy materials.
European Manufacturing and Production Control
AntiLeak Secure Paper is developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic, ensuring controlled embedding of magnetic microwires, consistent production standards, and secure supply chain oversight for sensitive applications.
Integration with EM and High-Sensitivity Detection Systems
AntiLeak Secure Paper integrates with standard EM EAS detection gates as well as TAGIT 3D EM Security Gates, enabling controlled perimeter monitoring of sensitive hardcopy materials.
For environments requiring enhanced physical security, a high-sensitivity specification is available that is compatible with metal detection systems such as CEIA SMD 600 Plus, CEIA Hi-PE Plus, and Metrasens detectors. This dual-detection capability supports layered physical security architectures without disrupting document workflows. The technology has been featured in independent media coverage highlighting Swiss-developed smart paper security solutions: Dukascopy TV segment about SwissMade smart paper.
Optional Printer-Level Access Control
Optional integration with printer management systems allows organizations to enforce secure-paper-only printing for sensitive documents. AntiLeak Secure Paper can also function independently within existing detection infrastructure. Optional integration with office hardware restricts printing to only those printers approved to use AntiLeak Print Paper - protecting sensitive content from its point of origin.
Industry Applications: AntiLeak Secure Paper is deployed in environments where intellectual property protection, classified document control, and insider risk mitigation are critical.

Physical Document Security as a Critical Control Layer
Digital security protects networks and servers. It does not prevent physical document removal.In semiconductor fabrication plants, advanced R&D centers, and classified government facilities, a single document can contain proprietary designs or highly sensitive information.AntiLeak Secure Paper strengthens physical document control at the last barrier — secure exits — complementing cybersecurity frameworks with measurable physical protection.

Digital security protects networks and infrastructure. It does not prevent physical document removal. Once sensitive information exists on secure paper - whether printed, drafted, or reviewed - physical controls must be in place to prevent unauthorized removal. AntiLeak Secure Paper strengthens security architecture by adding a detectable physical layer at controlled exit points.
