Dragonfly Tech provides secure, serverless cloud print solutions that eliminate the need for expensive local print servers. We enable hybrid workforces across London, Essex, Kent and the South East to print from any device, anywhere, with GDPR-compliant "Follow-Me" secure release, end-to-end encryption, and centralised fleet management across Xerox and Toshiba devices.
What is secure cloud printing?
Secure cloud printing moves your print infrastructure from physical on-premise servers to a secure, serverless cloud environment. Users can send documents to the cloud from any location or device, and securely release the print job at any compatible multifunction device using a PIN or swipe card, completely modernising your document workflows.
How does secure pull printing improve compliance?
Pull printing (or "Follow-Me" printing) requires the user to physically authenticate at the printer before a document is released. This eliminates the risk of sensitive financial, legal, or HR documents being left unattended on output trays, ensuring strict GDPR compliance, creating a digital audit trail, and significantly reducing paper waste.
| Feature | Legacy Print Servers | Dragonfly Tech Secure Cloud Print |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure costs | Requires expensive physical servers, regular maintenance, and IT management | Serverless architecture removes local hardware and associated electricity costs |
| Remote & hybrid work | Difficult to manage; often requires complex VPN connections for staff to print | Print securely from any location, on any network, from any mobile or desktop device |
| Print security | Documents print immediately and sit unattended on the printer output tray | Documents are held in an encrypted cloud queue until the user authenticates at the device |
| IT Administration | IT staff must manually deploy print drivers to individual workstations and fix queues | Automated driver deployment and centralised remote management via a single web portal |

How We Mitigate Cloud Print Security Risks
End-to-End Encryption
Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. From the moment a user hits "print" on their laptop to the moment the document leaves the printer, the data payload is secured against interception.
2. Serverless Secure Printing
We eliminate vulnerable, aging on-premise print servers. By moving to a true serverless cloud architecture, you instantly remove a major attack vector from your internal IT network.
3. Zero-Trust Pull Printing (Secure Release)
Documents never sit abandoned on the printer tray. Print jobs are held securely in the cloud and only released when the authorized user authenticates at the device via PIN, ID card, or mobile app.
SECURITY
End-to-end encryption. Documents are released only when the user is at the device (Pin/Card release). fully ISO27001 compliant.
ANY DEVICE
Print from Chromebooks, Macs, or Mobiles without complex driver installations

Secure Cloud Print FAQs
Moving from on-premise servers to the cloud shouldn't be a headache. Dragonfly ensures your migration is seamless, fully secure, and compliant with UK data regulations. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.
No. For maximum security, we use a “hybrid” approach. Only the print metadata (who printed what) travels to the cloud for accounting. The actual document stays on your local network or is encrypted until release. This ensures full GDPR compliance.
Yes. Dragonfly Cloud Print is a serverless solution. You can decommission your on-premise print servers, saving on hardware, electricity, and maintenance licensing.
Yes. Modern secure cloud print solutions are built specifically to support Zero Trust network environments. Unlike legacy print servers that assume trust once a user is inside the corporate firewall, a cloud print infrastructure requires strict authentication and authorization for every print job, device, and user. By integrating directly with Identity Providers (IdP) like Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Google Workspace, and Okta via Single Sign-On (SSO), secure cloud printing ensures that only verified users can initiate and release documents. Network traffic is verified continuously, making it an ideal fit for modern, perimeter-less IT security models.
Unclaimed documents sitting on printer trays are one of the biggest data breach risks in any office. Secure cloud print directly solves this through “Hold and Release” technology (also known as Follow-Me printing). Because a document will not print until the document owner authenticates at the physical printer, sensitive employee, financial, or client information is never left exposed. Additionally, enterprise cloud print platforms offer comprehensive audit trails and document tracking, providing the exact reporting required to demonstrate GDPR compliance to regulators.
Yes, secure cloud print is designed for the modern hybrid workplace. Whether your team is hot-desking in the London office, working remotely, or moving between client sites, they can securely send jobs to the print queue from anywhere. Our solution supports native printing from Chromebooks, Macs, Windows laptops, and mobile devices (iOS and Android) without the need for users to install complex, device-specific print drivers.
Your business doesn’t stop. We utilise “Edge Mesh” technology, which keeps print jobs local on your internal network. This ensures your team can continue printing securely even during a total ISP outage.
To ensure complete data security, top-tier cloud print software utilizes end-to-end encryption for both data-in-transit and data-at-rest.
Data in Transit: When a print job is sent from a user’s device to the cloud or local network, it is secured using TLS 1.2 or higher protocols, preventing man-in-the-middle interception.
Data at Rest: Documents are encrypted using AES-256 bit encryption while waiting in the secure print queue.
Furthermore, because Dragonfly is fully ISO 27001 compliant, print jobs are never released until the authorized user is physically present at the device to authenticate via a PIN, smart card, or mobile app (a process known as secure pull printing).
Absolutely. You get a central dashboard with full visibility over print usage by user, department, or location, helping you identify waste and cut costs further.
No. Our solution is 100% vendor neutral. Toshiba, Xerox, HP or a mixed fleet, it doesn’t matter. We deploy a single universal driver that works seamlessly with your existing hardware, extending the life and value of your assets.
