Adding a watermark that identifies the recipient can be an effective deterrent for people who might disseminate the information.

Imagine you need to send confidential documents outside of your organization. Identify the perpetrator if the document is leaked You may also use the text type watermark to show the status of a document - such as Reviewed, Approved, or Draft - so that other users immediately recognize the status of the document you have shared. For example, people who have access to a document may be more conscious of leaving it open on their computer screen while they walk away from it if it states “Confidential”. A watermark that states “Confidential” or “For internal use only” can be a reminder to others about how they should be handling the document.
