Enago, a global leader in author support services, is proud to announce the launch of <a href="http://www.enago.com/enago-lock" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Enago Lock</a>, an industry-first security solution available only with Enago, designed to address the rising concerns over data security in the research community.In the editing industry, it is common practice for client documents to be sent via email to freelance experts for editing. These experts then download the files onto their personal laptops or PCs, leaving the company with no control over the files. Although strict NDAs are in place with freelancers, there was no way to monitor or control file activities. Enago developed its proprietary file traceability software to address this critical security gap.&nbsp;Enago Lock's process starts at order confirmation, when a client’s file is converted from the standard .docx extension to a secure .Enago extension, accessible only through specialized Enago software. This system enables Enago to monitor and control file access, ensuring that only authorized personnel to whom we give permission can access sensitive information, and only for a specific duration. Once the editing is complete and the final version is delivered to the client, the .enago files are permanently removed from Enago editor’s local systems.In its first year of deployment, Enago Lock has proven highly effective among Enago’s editing experts and operations teams, receiving positive feedback for its robust security features. Its success has led to the rollout of an enterprise version for select B2B partners. Now, Enago is excited to introduce this technology to all clients.“We understand that behind every research is years of hard work. Researchers trust us with their life’s work, and we take that trust seriously,” said Sharad Mittal, CEO of Enago. “That’s why we developed Enago Lock—to provide a level of security that mirrors the care and commitment researchers put into their work. Enago Lock isn't just about technology; it’s about offering our authors a complete peace of mind, knowing that their data is protected at every step. We’re proud to set a new standard in the industry, ensuring researchers feel secure and supported as they focus on advancing their fields.”For more information on Enago Lock and how it can secure research data, please visit <a href="http://www.enago.com/enago-lock">www.enago.com/enago-lock</a>&nbsp;About Enago <a href="http://www.enago.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Enago</a> is a global leader in providing academic editing and <a href="https://www.enago.com/publication-support-services/premium-package" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">publication support services</a>, helping researchers from over 125 countries publish in top-tier journals since 2005.
