Encypher Trace

Give every recipient a distinct copy. Find which one comes back.

Trace adds a hidden mark before you send a file. If a copy shows up where it should not, Trace links that mark to the send record.

What Trace changes

Know which sent copy came back.

Every copy you send carries its own hidden mark, so a copy that surfaces later already has an owner.

01

Narrow a leak to one recipient

A board pack, a screener, or a draft filing can circulate with dozens of equally plausible suspects. Trace turns that crowd into one name.

02

Keep the review short

Your team starts with a recipient, a send event, and a time. The first hour goes to what happened next.

03

Send the file anyway

Deals stall when nobody will release the numbers. A marked copy lets you share the file and still know where it went.

Trace in action

Watch a marked copy lead back to the send.

See Trace mark a file, scan the copy that came back, and open the matching record.

The signed result

A recovered copy points to the matching send record.

Start with the person, send event, and time already in view.

Trace links a mark it can read to the sent copy. Your team reviews who moved it and what happened next.

How it works

Protect before you send. Get a lead if the copy returns.

Trace saves the send record while the details are still fresh.

  1. 01

    Make one copy per recipient

    Add a hidden mark and save the person, send event, and time with it.

  2. 02

    Share it as usual

    Send the file through your normal channel. The hidden mark stays out of the reader's way.

  3. 03

    Check a recovered copy

    Upload saved text or a clear scan. If Trace reads the mark, it opens the matching send record.

Proof details

Move from a hunch to a direct lead.

Trace names the sent copy behind a mark it can read, which is where a leak review should begin. Your team can focus on that one send instead of the whole distribution list.

  • The mark names the sent copy. Your team finds out who moved it.
  • No result can mean the mark was lost, changed, or not in the file.
  • A print check needs enough clear, marked text in the scan.
