System or method to assist and automate an information security classification and marking process for government and non-government organizations for information of an electronic document
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method to automate an overall document classification mark determination for information of an electronic document in accordance with an information security classification process, said method comprising:
- a. executing on at least one computer system,b. establishing an electronic document security regimen comprising of at least one criterion of an information security classification process,c. establishing a hierarchal algorithm associated with said at least one criterion of said electronic document security regimen,d. establishing an overall document mark for information of an electronic document from said hierarchal algorithm, where said hierarchal algorithm uses at least one classification mark existing for at least one informational portion of said electronic document, ande. inserting said overall document mark into said electronic document.

Abstract
A software engine runs in a compatible mode with off-the-shelf word processors, e-mail programs and presentation development software and other document development software. The software engine is used for the security classification of sensitive or national security classified information in electronic and resultant hard copy document formats. The software engine ensures that the individual considers all informational portions of a document, that appropriate document marks are employed, that document marks in their electronic format are persistent and that all necessary information, such as classification guides, standards and security regulations, provided by the organization to classify information is at hand and immediately available. In addition to the document sensitivity or classification determination and marking support, the software engine tracks and controls documents and the electronic media storing documents. It also provides warnings and alarms, ad hoc document security analysis and reporting capability to system security administrators with respect to document or network events or captured information that may be indicative of risk to the information requiring protection. The software also provides the ability for an organization to centrally establish and control a security classification or sensitivity marking hierarchy for automated security classification support.
