Fortra’s Data Classification Suite for Microsoft Outlook

Whether on the desktop or in the cloud, email continues to be the primary method for sharing information among employees, customers, and partners. This presents a challenge for organizations that must protect information assets while promoting information sharing. The critical first step in solving this challenge is to classify email at the time of creation, allowing organizations to identify the information’s value, and manage the data accordingly.

Fortra’s Data Classification Suite (DCS) for Microsoft Outlook is a security and governance solution that ensures that all Microsoft Outlook messages are classified before they are sent. With support for both Windows and Mac, as well as on the desktop and online, DCS for Outlook provides the broadest email classification coverage available. Flexible classification options enable user-driven, system-suggested or automatic application of the classification based on the recipient, sender, content, and other email attributes. Should an email violate security policies, DCS for Outlook blocks or warns the user and provides remediation options, preventing potential data breaches.

By assisting users to classify emails upon creation, organizations can add structure to the vast number of emails that are sent every day. This helps to prevent inadvertent disclosure, meet compliance requirements, and enhance infrastructure solutions such as archiving, DLP, and encryption.
