Is it possible to translated files protected by FileSecure in Trados Studio 2015?

Question

Hi,
I have been using Trados Studio 2014 and 2015 for quite some time. Recently one of my clients changed their policy and all files are protected by the plugin Seclore FileSecure. I have to log into FileSecure first before working on the files and it seems that Trados cannot convert the files to the format that can be handled by it.
But I really want to use Trados to improve efficiency! Does anyone have any clue to a possible solution? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi, 
 
I'm not familiar with this system but perhaps you need to gain access to the files, then make a copy of them on your own machine outside of the controls provided by this security? If that's not possible, which may be likely given the desire to use software like this in the first place then you probably need to discuss this with your client. 
 
Can we see an example source perhaps?

There is obviously one main difference between working on files within MS Office and SDL Trados Studio. In Studio, you don't output the same file you used for input, but you read a file, generate a SDLXLIFF file based on this input file and at the end of the translation generate a completely new target file. If your FileSecure protection system does not allow you to create new files, then you do in fact have a problem. 
 
I suggest you talk to your client as there must be ways to allow this type of working scenario while still ensuring security. If not, this mechanism would be much too restrictive, not only if you work with Studio, but also for many other applications.
