However, for some organizations implementing comprehensive, content-aware DLP solutions may be overkill, in both complexity and cost.    With FileOpen’s document security solutions, organizations can create and enforce policies that allow for secure exchange of documents both inside and outside the firewall. FileOpen encryption can be used to ensure that only the intended recipients of emailed documents may view them, and access can be revoked even after delivery. For organizations that already own DLP technology, FileOpen provides an [open interface](https://www.fileopen.com/products/developer-toolkit) to integrate those controls and apply them at the document level.  ##### Tell us about your use case.
