Classify, label and add metadata at the point of creation

360 Protective Marking enables users to classify their documents and emails when they are writing them. When the user goes to save, print or send they are prompted to select a classification which applies metadata to the document or email. The classification options can be tailored to your organisation needs and can include retention periods alongside standard classification which can be used by a records and document management system.
