From Office classification to protected sharing.
A short introduction to ClassifyIt in Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel: apply visible markings, add iCLASS metadata, and export a Trusted Data Format container with CryptIt.
Read the video transcript
ClassifyIt integrates into Microsoft Office: Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
ClassifyIt and CryptIt appear in the ribbon, right where you work.
Choose a classification and release audience. Insert applies your selected marking.
The visible marking helps readers recognise the sensitivity of the information.
In the background, the iCLASS standard expresses classification and release information as structured metadata.
Next, use CryptIt to export a Trusted Data Format container.
Encrypted content. Readable metadata. The private key stays outside the container.
Classify. Standardise. Protect. Try ClassifyIt at classifyit.eu.

Keep the marking that carries authority.
Add the label that enables understanding.
ClassifyIt applies each originator’s configured protective marking, adds the human-readable iCLASS label and records the technical classification property. Three national policies, one shared structure.

01 / NATIONAL MARKING
The authority stays with the originator.
Keep the protective marking and apply the originating organisation’s handling rules and required release caveats.
02 / HUMAN-READABLE iCLASS
A common language across boundaries.
The additional label identifies the originator, classification and permitted release communities.
03 / TECHNICAL PROPERTY
The same context for systems.
Structured iCLASS metadata supports gateways and DLP systems configured to interpret the policy.
Illustrative markings and exchange scenario, not operational documents or a release authorisation. The “Applied by ClassifyIt” badges explain the illustration; they are not an additional protective marking. Actual equivalence, national marking requirements and disclosure permissions follow the applicable policies and security agreements. iCLASS supplements the protective marking.
