9  Enable Watermarks

9.1 Goal

Add traceable watermark policies to remote access.

9.2 Suitable Scenarios

• Contractors.
• Customer support access to customer data.
• Remote work.
• BYOD.
• Sensitive internal backends.
• High-risk business pages.

9.3 Watermark Content Recommendations

Use content that can identify the visitor and access time, for example:

Username / employee ID
Access time
Company name
Access environment identifier

Do not put new sensitive information into the watermark itself.

9.4 Recommended Combination

User / group permissions
      +
Page sensitive content controls
      +
Watermarks
      +
Recording and replay

The value of watermarks is to increase the cost of distributing screenshots and improve traceability after the fact. They should not be described as absolute screenshot prevention.
