Data Classification

NovaPath is a software-based Data Classification solution that enables companies to categorise information according to its confidentiality. A comprehensive wizard guides users through the classification process and ensures the correct selection of a confidentiality level.

Depending on the confidentiality level, NovaPath allows to control the distribution of sensitive information by e-mail. Moreover, a DRM-based encryption can be enforced. Access to classified data can be restricted or granted for a limited time only to protect sensitive information from unauthorised use, manipulation or replication.
All classification events are logged in a central repository to document and inventory sensitive information.

E-mail classification to prevent unintended data leakage


To prevent unauthorised exchange of information, NovaPath supports the classification of e-mails using the same confidentiality levels.
By applying pre-defined filtering rules (whitelisting) for individual classification levels, NovaPath prevents that e-mails are sent to unauthorised recipients. Furthermore, the classification of attachments is checked and considered when security measures are applied.

Classification of MS Office documents & PDF files – Security for both formats


NovaPath supports classifying Microsoft Office documents easily using an Add-in and provides a system extension for PDF documents.
When a PDF document is generated by Microsoft Office applications, the existing classification is automatically passed to the new format and no re-classification is required. Classified information is automatically marked according to company policies in order to visualise the classification when documents are displayed on screen or printed out.

Logging Server – Audit trail of classified data


NovaPath provides a central logging server to administrators or auditors that stores all classification events and supports the tracking of classified documents. A comfortable web interface allows reviewing the classification level of individual documents or the entire classification history of a file. With the help of a unique ID which is assigned during to classification process NovaPath enables to track the lifecycle of individual documents.
