What IP-guard does

IP-guard (溢信科技), operated by Guangzhou Yixin Technology Co., Ltd. and the related entity TEC Solutions Limited, is a China-based vendor of enterprise endpoint security and data-loss-prevention software founded in July 2001 and headquartered in Guangzhou. The product is a modular, client-server-control platform that combines transparent document encryption, document operation control, sensitive content identification, device/portable-storage/IM/email/web/application control, screen monitoring, asset management, remote maintenance, document cloud backup, and risk audit reporting, with hardware adjuncts including a network access gateway, secure gateway, and secure USB drive. The platform supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, and integrates via API with OA, ERP, PDM/PLM, SVN/CVS and CRM systems, plus WeCom and DingTalk for approval workflows.

The company has built a substantial Chinese enterprise footprint: 30,000+ enterprise customers across 25+ industries, 10,000,000+ endpoints running the client, 90+ software copyrights, National Cryptography Administration commercial-encryption designation, Ministry of Public Security sales permit, and High-Tech / Gazelle enterprise status.

IP-guard makes money through a modular annual subscription/license model (basic module required plus optional add-on modules), sold via a 21-office direct-sales network in China combined with a certified reseller channel that has run 48+ training cohorts. The company completed a joint-stock restructuring and listed on China's New Third Board (NEEQ: 870985) in 2017, and in 2021 was recognized as a unicorn in the independent software sector. International reach is signaled by a Japan office subsidiary and named customers in Germany, the US and elsewhere, though the business remains predominantly domestic.
