Solve your Email Protective Marking Standard Requirements Today!

The Australian Government has mandated the Electronic Mail Protective Marking Policy for all Australian government agencies. This policy formalizes the use of email classification by mandating that all government departments introduce email marking.

The policy specifies that all agency-originated emails that contain security-classified information must include a protective marking that identifies the maximum classification and set of caveats for the information. In addition, agencies must ensure that all agency-originated emails that do not contain any classified information are marked with an appropriate protective marking such as UNCLASSIFIED or PERSONAL.

Titus Labs Message Classification - Professional Edition for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Web Access (OWA) messages, supports the requirements of the standard. This easy to use solution allows Australian government agencies to comply with these policies and also enables agencies to force their users to apply these markings before sending any electronic mail. Titus Labs Message Classification enables Australian government agencies to quickly configure or modify the classification markings for all of their users via Titus Labs' centralized administration tools that work with Microsoft Active Directory.

Technology

Titus Labs supports the Australian Email Protective Marking Standard in both Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft OWA clients including:

1. Subject Field Marking - the protective marking is placed at the end of the message's subject field.  Message Classification will automatically format the subject line marking to the Australian standard, e.g. [SEC=IN-CONFIDENCE, CAVEAT=AUSTEO]
2. Internet Message Header Extension - messages are generated with the protective marking in a custom Internet Message Header Extension "X-Protective-Marking". This is placed in the required format X-Protective-Marking: [VER=2005.6, NS=gov.au, SEC=xxx, CAVEAT=yyy]

Support for the Internet Message Header Extension is two way support.  Message Classification can both:

• send messages with the correct x-protective-marking
• receive and interpret incoming messages with an x-protective marking. This includes the ability to interpret x-protective markings that may have been applied by another third party messaging solution
