Visual and metadata marking which can apply security policy decisions before sensitive data either leaves or enters the organisation.

VISUAL MARKING Visual marking of messages mean that users are continually reminded of the importance of the information they’re sharing, making them more likely to value and protect it.

Where a message remains undelivered or unread after a set period of time, the message is forwarded onto a mailbox monitored 24 hours a day where action is guaranteed. Intended message recipients are sent a message explaining what has happened to the message.
