Solutions for Police Forces

Protective Marking for Security and Compliance

---

For police forces around the world, information assurance is critical. The ability to share information, while at the same time protecting it, is an issue that is encountered time and again. TITUS software solutions assist public safety and national security agencies around the world in protecting and sharing their most valuable data.

Protective marking is a critical and proven information sharing method. Some countries have already implemented marking standards as the norm, for example, Her Majesty’s Government (HMG) Security Policy Framework in the UK. This Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS) requires that broad classes of government generated information, including email, be marked with an appropriate security marking and handled properly. In Australia, the Australian Government Protective Security Manual mandates an Email Protective Marking Standard for all Australian government agencies.

Today protective markings are widely used by Police Forces worldwide. Specifically the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) of England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS) are the professional voices of police leadership that mandate the Government Protective Marking Scheme. These policies work to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information either owned by Police Forces, or entrusted by other organisations, or which it has shared with other organisations. The Policy aims to ensure that Police Forces efficiently and effectively manage the risks associated with the information they handle. ACPO/ACPOS also have a mandate to comply with the Community Security Policy (CSP) part of which relates to the protection and secure management of information assets within their organizations.

TITUS Message Classification is an easy to use classification & messaging solution for Police Forces that ensures every Microsoft Outlook™ and Outlook Web Access™ email is classified and protectively marked before it is sent.
