What Vitrium Systems Inc. does

Vitrium Systems Inc. is a privately held Canadian SaaS company, headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, that develops digital rights management (DRM) software for protecting documents, images, audio, and video content. Founded in 2005, the company has built a proprietary platform that encrypts content with AES encryption, applies dynamic user-identifying watermarks, and enforces more than 20 DRM controls (including device limits, IP restrictions, country blocking, print/copy/screen-share controls, and expiry dates). Protected content is delivered through a plug-in-free secure web viewer, downloadable protected PDFs (compatible with Adobe Acrobat Reader and Bluebeam Revu), and on-demand streaming video and audio players. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure and Vitrium holds ISO 27001:2022 certification.

Vitrium sells three product tiers: Vitrium Security Pro (entry-level DRM starting at $5,000/year), Vitrium Security Enterprise (advanced DRM with REST API integrations, SSO, and automation, priced on quote basis), and VitriumOne (launched in 2023 with partner Blue Flamingo Solutions, enabling licensed redistribution of content through downstream partners). Add-on revenue comes from video/audio protection, Elite Support, and implementation services. The company distributes through direct enterprise field sales, inside sales with self-serve demo and trial, and the Blue Flamingo partnership channel, supported by content marketing, SEO, and webinars.

The customer base spans education and training, associations and standards bodies, research and information providers, financial services, technology and manufacturing, film and entertainment, and digital publishing. Named enterprise customers include ASTM International, Standard Australia, American Concrete Institute, International Society of Automation, Fast Markets, Wohlers Associates, and TitleVest; named SMB customers include Course Beetle, Aeris Insight, Jose Rizal University, and Metcom Technologies. The company has 11–50 employees across its Vancouver HQ and a UK sales office, and is led by CEO Susan Daly (in role since 2011). Recognitions include Software Advice FrontRunners, G2 Category Leaders, and Gartner category placements in 2022.

Core offering

Vitrium Systems provides cloud-based Digital Rights Management (DRM) software that protects documents, images, audio, and video content through AES encryption, dynamic user-identifying watermarks, and granular access controls (device limits, expiry, IP/country restrictions, print/copy blocking). Content is distributed through a plug-in-free secure web viewer, downloadable protected PDFs, or streaming video/audio players, with optional REST API integration into LMS, CRM, AMS, and eCommerce systems and SSO authentication. The platform is sold as a SaaS subscription across three tiers — Vitrium Security Pro, Vitrium Security Enterprise, and VitriumOne — targeting different distribution workflows.

Product overview

Vitrium Systems provides a comprehensive Digital Rights Management (DRM) software platform with three main product tiers: Vitrium Security Pro (essential DRM for lower volumes with portal distribution), Vitrium Security Enterprise (advanced DRM with full automation, API integration, and SSO capabilities), and VitriumOne (DRM with license redistribution for multi-tier content distribution). The platform protects documents, images, audio, and video content using AES encryption, converting files to secure web formats for viewing through proprietary players (Vitrium Viewer, Vitrium Video Player, Vitrium Audio Player) or as protected PDFs. Additional offerings include video/audio protection add-ons and Elite Support packages. VitriumOne is a joint solution developed with Blue Flamingo Solutions.
