ManTech International Corporation has developed a flexible security labeling
and access control platform for Microsoft® Windows® environments that
require a high degree of data security and confidentiality. Sentris provides
end users with easy to use tools to label and secure content using common
applications, such as Microsoft Office® and Outlook®. Sentris is unique in its
capability to control access to data based on three criteria:
Who is accessing the information
Where they are located
What system they are using
This innovative approach allows organizations to easily and efficiently manage access to information in complex, highsecurity
environments where traditional access control mechanisms are ineffective and cumbersome.
Sentris is designed to meet or exceed the confidentiality requirements specified in DCID 6/3 and JAFAN 6/3 for
protection level 3 (PL3) networks, and is compliant with NIST 800-53.
Sentris Server
Easily define and customize the security metadata that Sentris will manage to suit individual
needs. Templates are provided for common U.S.
government classification marking standards, such
as CAPCO.
Robust and flexible usage rules allow markings to
be configured to control the use of other markings
within the system.
Customizable common dialogs for collecting security
labels.
Fine-grained control of the content, structure, and
placement of security labels on documents.
Capability to define sensitive words and color-coded
security banners that are associated with specific
security labels.
Administrators may authorize users, networks, and
locations (facilities) for security metadata, ensuring
that users can only create and access information for
which they are specifically authorized.
Sentris Labeling for Microsoft Office
Seamlessly integrated within the Microsoft Office
2007 Word®, PowerPoint®, Excel®, and Project® user
interfaces.
Easy to use document labeling functionality that
prompts the user to select security metadata for the
document and inserts the appropriate security label
into the header and footer of the document.
Stores document security labels in a format that can
be automatically interpreted by other applications in
the Sentris platform.
Portion marking utility that enables users to easily mark
paragraphs, figures, and tables with a security label.
Automatically scans documents for portion markings
and resolves portion markings into minimum
security settings for the document.
Integrated with Sentris Sensitive Word Search to scan
documents for sensitive words and phrases to aid
users in assigning the appropriate security label for
the document.
Integrated with Windows Rights Management
Services to automatically apply rights management
policies to documents based upon the security label
associated with the document.
Sentris Protection for Microsoft Outlook/Exchange
Easy to use e-mail message/calendar/task labeling functionality
that prompts the user to select security metadata for the message
and inserts the appropriate security label into the header and
footer of the message.
Replies and forwards of E-mail messages automatically inherit
appropriate security labels.
Integrated with Sentris Office to automatically discover the
security labels associated with attached documents and set
minimum security settings for e-mail messages.
Support for portion markings and Sentris Sensitive Word Search.
Directly integrated with the Microsoft Exchange 2007 Transport
Service to intercept and validate all incoming e-mail messages to
ensure that the recipients of each e-mail message are authorized
to receive the message based on the security label associated with
the message.
Restricts delivery of messages to unauthorized recipients and
sends a delivery failure notice to the message sender.
Sentris Protection for Open Text Livelink
Enterprise Content Management®
Adds functionality to ensure that all content uploaded to the
Livelink ECM repository contains a Sentris security label.
Establishes additional security controls within Livelink by
automatically filtering content in the Livelink ECM repository if the
end user is not authorized to access the security label associated
with the content.
Livelink search engine extended to allow end users to quickly
locate relevant information while protecting information that users
are not authorized to access.
Displays color-coded security banners within the Livelink user
interface that inform users of the security level of the currently
displayed item.
Sentris Instant Messaging for Microsoft Office
Communications Server
Custom instant messaging client developed using the Microsoft
Office Communications Server SDK.
Requires users to specify a security label for each instant
messaging conversation and validates that both parties are
authorized to access the security label before allowing the
conversation to proceed.
Displays color-coded security banners within instant messaging
conversations to inform users of the security level of the
conversation.
Sentris Software Development Kit
Enables organizations and independent software vendors to
integrate their custom or commercial applications with the Sentris
platform.
Extensive Application Programming Interfaces and sample code
allows developers to focus on integrating Sentris with their
applications rather than developing functionality to collect security
labels and validate access controls.
Web Services based for ease of integration into Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA).
