Key Features

How Security Works in Daminion

Security in Daminion is built on a combination of deployment control, structured permissions, and controlled collaboration, ensuring your organization retains full ownership of its assets while clearly defining who can access, modify, or share them.

Self-Hosted Deployment Behind Your Firewall

Daminion Self-Hosted can run on-premises or inside your own cloud infrastructure.

The system operates behind your firewall, and storage and access remain within your environment. Data stays inside your network unless you decide to share it.
The Best Software To Manage 3D Assets

Secure Cloud Hosting with Isolated Access

Daminion Cloud runs in GDPR-certified data centers.

Each organization’s environment is isolated, and only authorized users within your company can access your assets. The same permission structure applies as in the self-hosted version.

Role-Based Access Control

Access to your asset library is defined by roles.

You decide who can view files, upload content, edit metadata, download originals, or share assets externally. Permissions can be adjusted per team or individual, so users only see what is relevant to their responsibilities.

Secure External Sharing

Files can be shared using password-protected links with optional expiration dates.

You can control whether recipients can download files or only preview them. Access can be limited to specific assets and revoked at any time.

Controlled Collaboration Without Compromising Security

Internal teams and external partners can work with selected content without accessing the full archive.

Permissions remain structured and predictable, helping you collaborate without losing control.

Security That Doesn’t Complicate Your Workflow

You don’t need extra tools, separate permission systems, or complex folder logic. Access rules, sharing, and storage are handled within one system, so security doesn’t create friction for your team.
USE CASES

When Strong DAM Security Is a Requirement

Some organizations operate under strict internal policies, legal restrictions, or contractual obligations. Daminion supports these environments with controlled deployment, structured permissions, and clearly managed sharing.

Public Sector & Government — Supports environments where infrastructure control and defined access rules are mandatory.

Regulated Industries — Allows deployment within internal infrastructure when external storage is restricted.

Client-Confidential Work — Helps protect intellectual property and sensitive materials with structured permissions.

Policy-Driven Organizations — Aligns with internal IT and data governance requirements without introducing parallel systems.

Client stories

What Our Customers Say

Discover how design, marketing, and other content production teams use Daminion to manage their digital assets, eliminate rework, and impress clients with polished results.

Before Daminion, file organization was a total disaster for us.

Our collection of files and references had been growing out of control for years. Each team member had their own way of finding and sharing files, which made collaboration slow and messy.

With Daminion, we finally have a system to tag, search, and organize assets. We can quickly find images, share them with team members, and save hours of routine work. What once took a lot of time and duplication now happens in minutes.

The main problem that Daminion is planning to solve is time!

We tried six different solutions. There were several really manual solutions, but that did not really work. But then we came across Daminion, which was exactly what we were looking for.

Ed Linn
Design Team
Now we save a lot of time and create proposals faster.

When we increased our design team and staff turnover increased, we have about 30 thousand images in the database.

I began to look for a solution that would allow me to provide quick access to frequently used files.

Sometimes we need to make presentations of several hundred patterns, colors, and shades; without the DAM system, it was always a headache for several days.

Kirsten Riess
Design Team
Our biggest issue was organization and finding files — Daminion was the best choice for us.

We had not been using a management system in the past. Our biggest issue was organization and finding files. There was no standardization of stored files, so searching was cumbersome.

We were looking for ease of tagging content and for files to be automatically organized into collections. Daminion was the best choice for us.

Matt Johnston
Production Team
Daminion helps us create and manage our internal corporate catalog.

Daminion helps us create and manage an internal corporate catalog of both processed and source media files.

We also share files with external partners and press through limited-time or password-protected links. In addition, we use Daminion for scheduled publishing, version updates, approvals, and restrictions management.

Andrey Gavrilov
Web Marketing Lead
The big thing for us is having an on-premise solution — not cloud-based.

The big thing for us is that we need to have a solution on-premise and not cloud-based. We have a lot of photos under non-disclosure agreements from clients who want them kept private. Another important factor is functionality and interface.

I want all the content to be easy to access and the software to be good to work with — now we have it all.

Mark Fugina
Head Librarian
One of the great things about Daminion is that all assets are referenced.

We don’t need to send files around because the whole team can use Daminion. We just refer to the assets directly, with no miscommunication or excessive file sharing.
