The login opened the file. Who is actually looking at it?
A valid login opens CAD files, proprietary formulations, and machine controls, then trusts whoever is in front of the screen for the rest of the session. On a shared shop-floor kiosk or in a contractor-heavy design environment, that is rarely the person who logged in. SpiAlert verifies the authorized engineer or operator continuously.
Authentication opens the design file. It does not verify who is reading it.
Standard access control confirms an engineer or operator once at login and then trusts the workstation for the rest of the shift. A CAD session left open during a walk-by, or a shop-floor kiosk shared across shifts without individual logins, exposes proprietary designs and formulations to whoever happens to be looking.
SpiAlert holds the session to a verified human second by second, passively, using the webcams you already have. When the authorized person is not present, access is denied and the screen is protected immediately, then revealed automatically when they return.
Why this matters here
Years of R&D can walk out the door in the time it takes to photograph an open screen, and that kind of exposure rarely trips any conventional security control. When an IP investigation does happen, a login log only proves whose credential was used, not who was actually viewing the design. SpiAlert ties visibility of sensitive files to a specific, continuously verified human, so a proof-of-presence record exists before an incident, not just after one.
Use cases for this industry.
CAD and design workstation protection
Confirm a cleared engineer is present before sensitive designs are visible, with the screen protected the moment an unauthorized face appears.
Shop-floor kiosk switching
Touchless, presence-based switching between operators on shared terminals, without shared passwords or badges.
OT and control station security
Continuous presence verification at HMI and machine-control consoles, so a walked-away session is never treated as the authorized operator.
Supplier and ODM access governance
Verify partner identity during shared design reviews and file access, with presence logs supporting IP oversight.
Remote and traveling engineer coverage
Keep CAD and design sessions visible only to the verified engineer in home offices, plants, and client sites.
What SpiAlert delivers here.
SpiAlert is architected to support your compliance obligations. It provides continuous presence evidence, not a certification.
Presence at the design file
Verifies the authorized engineer or operator continuously, including at the moment sensitive designs or controls are accessed.
Forensic-grade presence record
A continuous, per-session presence trail that strengthens IP investigations and change-control audits.
Data sovereignty by design
No raw images, designs, or formulations stored or transmitted. Facial data is converted to irreversible templates.
A trade secret is only secret if the right eyes are the only eyes on it. SpiAlert ensures the only person viewing your designs is the person you authorized.

We will walk through the post-authentication gap in your environment and show how SpiAlert holds presence without adding friction for your people. We are also glad to discuss current pilots and references under NDA.
