Tools

Classify

Inserts security classification labels into the first line of the message body and prevents messages from being sent until a classification label has been added. Separate versions available for Exchange and Outlook. Works with all versions of Outlook. Outlook 97 needs to be Version 8.04.5619 (or later) and Outlook 98 needs to be Version 8.5.5603.0 (or later); see instructions on Classify web site.

ClassifyIt

Use ClassifyIt when you need to mark Word documents or Outlook emails with security classification labels to either mark them with a security classification or with a sensitivity label to show the sensitivity of the information contained in the document or email.

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro goes beyond standard transport rules on Microsoft Exchange 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010 or 2007 and lets you fully control mail flow, filter messages as well as add signatures and branding to your business emails. It gives you everything Exchange offers plus a lot of advanced features Exchange is missing, which admins consider a must-have in their daily work. Quickly create email forwarding rules for groups, set up auto-responders, filter or block incoming and outgoing messages, control email contents, rewrite sender's addresses, tag messages, add signatures and disclaimers, and more.

Email Classifier

Boldon James Email Classifier empowers users to assign a value to their Microsoft Outlook messages, by applying a visual and metadata classification label, helping prevent sensitive data being sent to the wrong recipient and improving security awareness. This provides organisations with the ability to not only ensure that they are complying with data protection and industry regulations, but also it adds significant value and boosts the return on investment of other security and data management technologies.

Exchange Classifier

Operating within Microsoft Exchange, in the form of an Exchange Transport Agent, Exchange Classifier enhances endpoint classification solutions by applying policy to every message sent and received within your organisation, internal or external, inbound or outbound - closing the gaps left by boundary-only or outbound-only solutions. Exchange Classifier simplifies collaboration with external partners and other organisations by tailoring safeguarding instructions and automatically mapping the classification labels of your partners into your own classification scheme.

Messageware OWA Guard

OWA Guard provides sign-on security to protect users & businesses from logon attacks such as password guessers, brute force attacks, screen scrapers, & phished logons. It provides real-time analytical reports & alerts of suspicious activity while monitoring the security health of your Exchange infrastructure. A dynamic CAPTCHA can differentiate between users and computer generated attacks, and Geo-filtering can prohibit OWA logons from places where normal business operations are not expected.

OWA Classifier

Boldon James OWA Classifier puts labelling at the heart of data loss prevention by giving users the ability to apply relevant visual labels to Microsoft Outlook Web App email messages and to embed labels within the email metadata. OWA Classifier applies labels to enforce the organisation's rules on handling and release of email, accurately invoking downstream technologies such as gateway-based encryption or email archiving.

SAFEmail

Component of military messaging client based on Outlook supports S/MIME v.3 encryption and signatures.

SAFEmail for OWA

Boldon James have extended the Microsoft OWA client to support military message handling. The extensions encompass a number of military attributes embedded in the user interface and a security labeller that appears as a separate 'pop-up' dialogue when the user sends the message. These extensions, when applied to the Microsoft OWA client, mean it can be used as part of a military message handling system (MMHS).
