Cinema8 uses advanced encryption standards to protect your video content both in transit and at rest. Every video hosted on the platform is delivered securely over HTTPS, with robust key exchange protocols to prevent unauthorised access. 

Combined with our ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, GDPR-compliant processes, and additional features like password protection and domain-restricted access, you gain enterprise-grade security without complexity. This ensures your hosted and monetised videos are protected, your audience’s data is safeguarded, and your brand maintains full control.

Educators can use Cinema8’s video security and compliance tools to protect lessons from unauthorised downloads while still making them accessible to approved trainees or students. Options include password-protected access as well as domain or IP restrictions to control where videos can be viewed. 

You can also disable player downloads entirely and track user-level engagement to ensure lessons are only being accessed by intended audiences. This is especially valuable for protecting intellectual property, paid course content, or sensitive training materials.

While encrypted video hosting offers strong protection, Digital Rights Management (DRM) adds an extra layer of security; especially for premium or high-value content. Encryption secures the stream, but DRM manages playback rights and prevents screen recording or unauthorised redistribution. 

If you’re streaming commercially licensed videos, subscription-based content, or proprietary training materials, DRM can help ensure compliance with licensing agreements and deter piracy.

Cinema8 allows you to set time-based access controls so you can determine exactly how long viewers can watch your videos. You can set expiration dates, limit viewing to specific time windows, or revoke access at any point. 

This feature is ideal for time-sensitive events, temporary course access, or limited campaign availability. Combined with our other access control tools such as passwords, domain restrictions, and user authentication, you can deliver content on your terms while keeping it secure

While it is possible to build a secure video portal with open-source tools, achieving and maintaining enterprise-grade standards requires extensive expertise, ongoing updates, and strict compliance checks. You’d need to ensure encryption protocols, access controls, and hosting infrastructure meet certifications such as ISO 27001, and that your setup stays patched against emerging threats.

Cinema8 provides all of this out of the box. You get enterprise-grade encryption, secure video hosting, access management, and compliance-ready infrastructure without the complexity of managing it yourself. This means you can focus on creating and sharing content while knowing your video solution meets the highest security benchmarks. Book a demo of our security-first platform or choose a plan and get started right away.
