Add Watermarks and Labels to Microsoft Office Word Documents


Adding visual labels to documents is one of the most effective ways to increase security awareness. By including classification labels in the document itself, authors and recipients are more accountable for proper information handling.

TITUS has extended the File Classification Infrastructure to add visual markings (headers, footers, and watermarks) to Word documents in Office 2007 format (docx). Document Marking for FCI automatically adds labels to existing and new documents, promoting a culture of awareness and helping to ensure that information is shared appropriately.

  • Raises security awareness and accountability for the distribution of documents
  • Enable the marking of hundreds of thousands of documents at once
  • Ensures compliance with regulatory marking standards
  • Enables administrators to configure and update labels at any time, including control over the font, size, color, and placement of the visual labels
