Speckle is the data hub that connects with your AEC tools.
Automate Tekla data protection. Zero coding.
Don’t risk it
Tekla models hold sensitive data—user emails, proprietary design details, and more. With Speckle’s Data Shield you can automatically strip or anonymize info, ensuring GDPR compliance while keeping your designs integrity.
Granular data control
With Data Shield, you decide how much to strip away. Purge entire property groups (like usernames & internal IDs) or fine-tune filtering to remove only sensitive details while keeping essential BIM data intact.
Automate compliance
Remove personal data before sharing models with external teams. Ensure GDPR and NDA compliance by anonymizing sensitive details while keeping core design data whole.
Keep what matters
Strip PII, proprietary metadata, and non-essential parameters, while keeping geometry, materials, levels, and object categories intact for seamless downstream use.
Good to know
Data Shield is for secure data egress.
You control the level of data removal. Apply targeted filtering or full data stripping as needed.
Sanitized object data is safe for sharing, but may not behave as expected in host applications.
