Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securing and tracking a document transmitted along a workflow path from a customer to a remote printing facility. The customer contains a document source, a print-job initiator, and a security processor. The document source provides the document to be transmitted to the printing facility for printing. The print-job initiator identifies sensitive fields within the document and establishes a new print job. The printing facility is connected to the customer along the workflow path and contains printing equipment and a security processor. A tracking device, in communication with the security processors of the customer and printing facility, tracks the transmission of the document along the workflow path.
