Keep Control of Where Your Projects Live

Altium Develop doesn't require every project in the cloud. Create and keep projects locally, connect to external version control, or manage select ones in an Altium 365 Workspace, whichever fits the work.

Your Design Data Is Yours, and It Can Be Extracted

You can extract your design data. Checked-out projects, exported components with models, and downloaded release packages all remain available. If a Workspace subscription lapses, it goes read-only, with data accessible for three months before deactivation.

Share Only the Projects You Choose

Grant specific people view or edit access to a Workspace project, keep unrelated projects private, and control whether viewers or guests can download or reshare files, all without opening every project to everyone.

Explore Project Access

Protect Access Beyond a Password

Multi-factor authentication adds a second verification step beyond a password, so an exposed password alone can't unlock design data. It strengthens your account and Workspace, without adding steps to the PCB design itself.

Explore Authentication

Verify the Security Foundation

Altium 365 has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 examination, with files encrypted using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 in transit. The Trust Center publishes the documentation, so you can verify the controls.

Manage Sign-In With Your Existing Identity Provider

Single sign-on lets your team use the identity provider you already run, and SCIM provisioning adds and removes users automatically as people join and leave.

Group People by Role and Standardize What They Can Do

Group management in Teams organizes people by role and keeps access consistent across the workspace. Assign groups to projects so members see only the work relevant to them, and new members inherit the same access automatically. This keeps project visibility controlled without adding complexity.

Explore Access Control

Bring in External Partners Without Opening Your Whole Workspace

Advanced permissions give a contractor or client access to one project and nothing else. The rest of your IP stays out of view.

See a Full Record of Workspace Activity

The events log records who accessed or changed each project across the workspace. Export the record instead of reconstructing it from memory.

Multi-Factor Authentication and a SOC 2 Foundation, Built In

MFA protects every account. Altium 365 is SOC 2 Type 2 audited, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 in transit. For US teams working under ITAR or EAR, GovCloud is available.

Enforce Least-Privilege Access Across Every Role

Every account receives only the access its role truly requires. Standing permissions disappear, manual reviews fade out, and least‑privilege enforcement becomes automatic across internal teams, contractors, and every connected workspace.

Automate Identity Sync Across Every Workspace

Sync identities automatically through SSO and SCIM so multi-factor authentication and access changes apply the instant a role shifts, everywhere, not weeks later in scattered, manually updated workspace systems.

Learn More

Restrict Network Access to Trusted Locations Only

Limit system access by verified network location so credentials alone can never unlock sensitive design data, keeping every login, in every environment, tied to a trusted, physical origin point every single time.

Learn More

Govern External Partner Access at Every Boundary

Scope every partner, contractor, and vendor connection to exactly what the task requires, log each interaction, and attribute it to a named individual, so external access never becomes an unmonitored blind spot.

Learn More

Capture Every Action for Continuous Audit Visibility

Stream every user action, resource, and outcome straight into your SIEM in real time, building a lifecycle-wide audit trail that stays current, exportable, and ready well before any audit ever begins. 

Learn More

Adapt Deployment to Every Infrastructure Environment

Deploy the same governance model across multi-tenant cloud, single-tenant, on-premises, or GovCloud environments, so identity, access, and audit controls stay consistent no matter where infrastructure lives.
