Move access offline. Restore it with a scan.
Paper Keys are physical access keys that can be printed, stored offline and later activated simply by scanning a QR code. The protected data can remain stored online, while access requires possession of the printed key.
A physical key for selected protected data.
A Paper Key is a printable physical key for selected protected data. It can be used to place access under offline control, so the organisation decides where the key is stored, who can hold it, and when it can be scanned to activate access.
Put sensitive access under physical control.
For some data, online access is too convenient. Sensitive legal, financial, board or archive records may need stronger control than passwords, user accounts or device access alone. Paper Keys let organisations separate protected data from routine online access while keeping access simple: scan the QR code on the printed key when access is required.
Sensitive records
Place access to selected legal, financial, board or archive records into a physical process.
Reduced online availability
Separate protected data from routine online access when convenience is not the right default.
Physical custody
Let the organisation decide where the printed key is held, who can hold it, and when it can be scanned.
Offline access control with a QR-code scan.

Scan the QR code
When access is needed, simply scan the QR code on the Paper Key.

Security controls for offline access
Unlike traditional recovery codes, Paper Keys are designed for everyday usability. When access is required, an authorised user simply scans the QR code on the Paper Key. We Secure Data securely validates the key and restores access to the protected item.
Paper Keys remain optional. Company admins can enable or disable Paper Key use, and access to create or scan Paper Keys can be role-controlled.
Paper Keys should be stored like sensitive legal, financial or security documents, then scanned only when access is required.
