ClassifyIt - Features (markings, lables, DLP, plugin)
Manage and safeguard sensitive and classified information. By explicitly marking emails and documents, recipients become more aware of the importance of handling the information properly. This, combined with effective handling procedures, helps minimize unintentional data leakage. To further prevent such leakage, utilizing an application firewall is essential.
ClassifyIt is a tool that adds clear and visible markings to documents and emails, while also storing technical labels for classification. The consistent application of these markings and labels ensures that any tampering or manipulation is promptly detected and prevented.
ClassifyIt is a convenient Plug-In compatible with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (Office 2010 Suite and above, including Office 2019).
ClassifyIt supports Data Loss Prevention (DLP) by enforcing security markings on emails and supporting them on documents. These readable security markings must be respected by individuals who access and handle the data. Additionally, ClassifyIt adds non-readable information to emails (X-Header) and documents (properties), providing additional support for network security DLP measures through mailguards or web firewalls.
ClassifyIt enables the enforcement of classification markings on emails, word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint slides. These markings can be customized to comply with your company's or organization's security policy.
ClassifyIt also allows for the selection of release markings to ensure compliance with your company's or organization's security policy, making it easier to manage and maintain document security.
ClassifyIt – Email Features - classify emails
ClassifyIt ensures that every email has the appropriate security markings in accordance with company policies. Emails without the correct markings, or those that have been altered by the user, cannot be sent.
With ClassifyIt, you can easily add a default security marking to every new email you compose.
ClassifyIt also checks the types of attachments in emails and prevents sending if the attachments are not allowed.
Furthermore, ClassifyIt has the ability to block or issue warnings for replies or forwards of emails if their classification is lower than that of the original email.
To maintain consistency, ClassifyIt can block word attachments that have a higher classification than the email itself.
In order to cater to international or multinational organizations, ClassifyIt supports up to 3 translations or representations of the selected security marking.
Additionally, ClassifyIt adds X-Header information to the email envelope, enabling network security devices to identify and potentially prevent the sending of emails with unauthorized markings to external parties, especially if the email is not classified as public.
