Emails MUST be checked for viruses at the network boundary and the host, and MUST NOT be automatically forwarded to a lower classification of domain. (This can be implemented in Exchange)

Features such as the following should be disables where they are not needed:

  • Automatic preview
  • HTML

Executables, scripts, encrypted, or password protected files should not be allowed unless there is a valid business case for their use

Titus Labs Message Classification (TMC) can ensure emails are not forwarded to a lower classification of domain by restricting the destination of a message based on its protective marking. TMC can also restrict the number of recipients of a message, which can help reduce incidents of data leakage within an organisation. TMC can examine the classification metadata of documents that are protectively marked with Titus Labs Document Classification, and will stop a message being sent if the classification of the attachments is higher than the classification of the message.
