Titus Labs (http://www.titus-labs.com/), a leading provider of e-mail and document classification software, announced the release of a new metadata security product for Microsoft Office SharePoint.

Many organisations using SharePoint as a document repository would like to create a single document library for many different levels of users. Today this would mean defining per document (item level) security for many of the documents in the library.

Titus Labs Metadata Security for SharePoint offers organisations an additional layer of security for SharePoint document libraries. The solution enables administrators to protect any document type and restrict access in SharePoint based on user attributes, metadata properties, or SharePoint content types. This solution eliminates the need for administrators to define security settings for every document.

"For organisations that rely on SharePoint in mission-critical environments, Titus Labs' Metadata Security offers enhanced document security for improved records management, "said Sean Glansbeek, MD of Seven Days Technologies. "SharePoint is now routinely used for critical document and records management requirements, and Titus Labs' Metadata Security provides an additional security option for SharePoint security access."

Titus Labs Metadata Security for SharePoint enables administrators to easily assign security access control based on any metadata property of a document, including document attributes, content types, date, document author etc. Administrators will find it very simple to configure security with this solution, as there is no need to assign permissions to each individual document.

Rather, administrators can create a document library to be shared by different groups of users in Active Directory and each group can have different views and permissions based on the document's metadata. For example, all users could be given access to documents with a metadata tag of 'public', whereas only legal staff would be given access to documents with a metadata tag of 'legal information'.

"Our newest solution simplifies and enhances document security for SharePoint," said Charlie Pulfer, Vice-President of Product Management, Titus Labs. "Administrators no longer need to define access rights for every document and can easily ensure the right documents become available to the right people."
