3M COMPLY Magnetic Attach for Monitors protects sensitive and confidential data on monitor displays

Companies can protect their data on their monitor displays, especially as more employees return to the office, with the new COMPLY Magnetic Attach for Monitors from 3M.

The attachment system allows office workers to install a 3M Privacy Filter to their full screen (frameless) monitor to protect their work, remove it for collaboration with co-workers and then reattach when done.

This is important in regulated vertical industries with sensitive data, like legal, healthcare, government, finance and consulting.

The COMPLY Magnetic Attach for Monitors from 3M eliminates the need for adhesives and bulky mounts when using privacy filters. Instead, magnetic quick-click brackets allow employees to attach the privacy filter by clicking it into place at the top of the monitor.

To remove it, users simply hold the brackets and lift. The proprietary modern design provides an aesthetic look and eliminates fingerprints by reducing the need to touch the privacy filter.

“The majority of business professionals have been working in the privacy of their homes during the pandemic and likely haven’t given much thought to the threat of visual hacking,” said David Owen, 3M Global Portfolio Manager.

“As they return to the office – and some to modified open workspace environments – the new attachment system can help protect confidential data on their display without causing frustration for the user. Workers can go from protecting their information to collaborating, and back again, with a quick click and IT managers can rest assured knowing that their company’s data is protected.”, Owen continued.

The attachment system’s brackets were designed using a transparent material to ensure an unobstructed view of the screen. This technology also minimizes the gap between the screen and the filter to provide an image without blurring or ghosting.

Using earth magnet technology, these brackets are stronger than refrigerator magnets, ensuring the privacy filter remains secured to the monitor.

The COMPLY Magnetic Attach for Monitors from 3M is currently available with the latest privacy filters from 3M for use on a range of full screen (frameless) monitor models.
