Version 7.1 brings ClassifyIt into Windows File Explorer through its Shell integration, with STANAG 4774 marking and STANAG 4778 binding.

  • Recognise classified files: a coloured ClassifyIt stamp on the file icon shows its classification.
  • Export from Explorer: right-click a classified Word document to create a Trusted-Data-Format (TDF) container while retaining its classification.
  • Standards integration: STANAG 4774 marking and STANAG 4778 binding are included in the upcoming release.

ClassifyIt integrates into Microsoft Office: Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

ClassifyIt and CryptIt appear in the ribbon, right where you work.

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.

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.
