With Saudi Arabia’s accelerating digital transformation, data security has become a critical issue for business operations. The Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) explicitly mandates in its “Data Cybersecurity Control Standard” (DCC) (Clause 2-2-1-4) that enterprises disable the “screenshot” function on devices that create or process documents.
This means that enterprise management must strictly control screenshot permissions on internal employee devices, covering all possible screenshot methods, including shortcut keys, built-in system screenshot tools, third-party screenshot software, curtain-elocker and remote collaboration tools.
This requirement is primarily based on the following considerations:
Risk Prevention: Screenshots are the most common route to data leakage.
Clear Responsibilities: Enterprises must proactively implement technical safeguards.
In actual operations, enterprises often encounter the following issues:
Technical Limitations: Windows native functionality cannot completely disable all screenshot methods.
Management Difficulties: Unified control of distributed devices is difficult.
To address these challenges, Curtain e-locker meets this compliance requirement through refined permission management:
Administrators can set differentiated permissions for multiple departments or individuals from a single management portal, achieving centralized control and streamlining the management process. Limiting screenshots through permission settings.
When an employee’s screenshot function is restricted, system screenshots such as PrintScreen and Win+Shift+S are completely blocked, including third-party screenshot tools. When an unauthorized screenshot is taken, the screen content turns gray, and forced screenshots cannot leave any information on the image.
This meets the compliance requirement of disabling screenshots in the “Data Network Security Control Standard.” At the same time, permission management ensures that sensitive enterprise data is protected from unauthorized interception or leakage. Management no longer needs to check each device individually or rely on manual monitoring. Curtain e-locker automatically blocks illegal screenshots, reducing management costs and eliminating the risk of human oversight.
Curtain e-locker’s capabilities go far beyond this. As a comprehensive anti-leakage software, it supports numerous official compliance requirements, providing comprehensive security for enterprises. By adopting Curtain e-locker, enterprises can protect sensitive information while ensuring business continuity and compliance, helping them stay ahead in a fiercely competitive market.
