E-mail became the first channel of communication through which confidential or sensitive information passes every day. It is important that the users of this communication channel master their capital of information: sending of contracts, R&D's documents or confidential financial information.

It is crucial to implement functions of security adapted to current business needs. Next to the basic functions such as confidentiality of the messages and authentication of sender and receiver, it is also necessary to guarantee, for the most sensitive information, the non-dissemination. Example: prevent that a document is printed or passed on to non-authorized addressees (function of "no forward").

Guarantee the protection of information

By leaning on its experience and its proved methodologies, DICTAO guides companies in the conception and implementation of reliable applications: audit and analysis, specifications, study of market solutions, integration and methods, definition and update of policies of security...

In an electronic mail system, it is indispensable to set up all or part of the following reliable functions:
- Digital Rights Management and access control: the objective is to limit access to documents to the authorized persons. How? By limiting the number of accesses, by defining the date and by limiting the access time, by imposing licenses and disable consultation
- Authentication: according to the value of the content and its degree of confidentiality, solutions of authentication are implemented: login/password, hosted certificate, software certificate, secureID, token, certificate smart card
- Confidentiality: the encoding allows to protect the confidentiality of the exchanges (the channels of transmission are protected) and the documents (only authorized persons have access)
- Audit and tracability: these two functions are assured through access journals, functions of date and time stamping and notification.

Lean on successful tools
