BoostDraft Metadata Remover

This solution seamlessly bridges the Microsoft Outlook user interface with a background desktop application via a secure and encrypted pipeline to drastically reduce the risk of information leakage from email attachments.

Files generated by Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or PDFs often contain hidden metadata, such as author names, organization details, and revision histories. Sending these files externally without stripping this data poses serious compliance risks and potential leaks of intellectual property.

Without disrupting the daily communication workflow, this add-in safely and rapidly clears these invisible security threats directly on the local PC.

■ Recommended for:

Organizations seeking enhanced file-sharing security: Prevent external recipients from discovering internal document histories or properties.

IT administrators aiming to reduce human error: Replace multi-step manual procedures with a single, standardized cleaning action built into Outlook.

Users prioritizing both security and productivity: Eliminate the redundant step of opening external utilities just to clean files before emailing.

■ Key Features

Full Ribbon Integration: Launch the dedicated task pane with a single click from the top ribbon menu in Microsoft Outlook. The intuitive interface ensures a frictionless user experience.

Secure Attachment via Drag & Drop: Simply drag and drop files into the dedicated pane to automatically strip metadata and seamlessly attach them to your email while confirming the processing status.

Bulk Metadata Removal: For files already attached via standard Microsoft Outlook methods, a single click from the menu instantly strips metadata from all attached files simultaneously.

Companion App Architecture: All data processing is performed entirely on the local machine, ensuring complete data privacy without ever uploading sensitive files to the cloud.
