TITUS Classification for Mobile

Protecting corporate information has become essential as regulations around PII, financial data, and other sensitive information tighten and as information assets increasingly represent a large share of organizational value. At the same time, businesses must enable easier sharing with partners and customers and support mobile access as part of digital transformation, while confronting rising cyber-attacks. This creates a core dilemma: enabling broad access and collaboration without weakening protection. The resulting solution space—Enterprise Information Protection (EIP)—is diverse, spanning Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) for data at rest, in motion, and in use; secure data rooms and other secure collaboration tools; classification solutions (manual and automated); and add-ons such as ERP integrations to protect exported data.

A comprehensive EIP approach must cover both classification and protection throughout the information lifecycle and across varied user groups, devices, and target systems. Because requirements vary widely, a single tool rarely meets all needs. Classification must be accurate enough to reliably identify confidential and restricted information while remaining easy and minimally intrusive, especially on mobile devices where convenience expectations are highest and BYOD realities increase complexity. Mobile information protection also must interoperate with existing ERM and potentially Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), making integration and user experience central success factors.

TITUS, a Canadian independent software vendor focused on classification, addresses these needs with TITUS Classification for Mobile. The product classifies sensitive email content on iOS and Android, enforces policy to prevent violations, and can invoke Microsoft Azure Rights Management (RMS). It integrates with native email apps, enables access to RMS-encrypted email via the TITUS app, and supports cloud and collaboration platforms such as Box and SharePoint/SharePoint Online, alongside EMM tools like MobileIron, Good, and VMware Airwatch. Beyond classification, it provides a secure container for business documents on mobile devices with AES-256 storage protection and policy controls (e.g., restricting emailing, copying, uploading, or opening in third-party apps). Strengths include broad integrations, non-intrusive classification, and extended RMS support; the primary challenge is potential redundancy if partner platforms add similar capabilities natively.

• Enterprise Information Protection includes offerings such as Enterprise Rights Management, secure data rooms, secure file sharing/collaboration tools, and classification solutions.
• A single solution will rarely cover all EIP requirements across varied target systems, devices, user convenience needs, and security demands.
• TITUS is a Canadian independent software vendor that specializes in classification.
• TITUS Classification for Mobile supports iOS and Android platforms on smartphones and tablets.
• The product integrates classification support into the native email apps on iOS and Android.
• TITUS Classification for Mobile can optionally invoke Microsoft Azure Rights Management (RMS).
• The solution provides specific integration and support with Box.
• The product delivers tight integration with Microsoft SharePoint and SharePoint Online.
• It integrates with EMM platforms such as MobileIron, Good, and VMware Airwatch.
• Data stored in the product’s secure business document container is protected using AES-256.

• "Information has become the crown jewel of organizations."
• "The dilemma organizations are facing today is between the need for easier access and sharing, and better protection of information assets demands better solutions."
• "Enterprise Information Protection is not a homogeneous market, where all vendors follow just one specific approach."
• "Classification must be easy to use and be as non-intrusive as possible."
• "Unfortunately, securing information on mobile devices, which are frequently BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) or devices that are at least partially privately used, is even more complex than on other devices."
• "Classification and information protection for mobile devices thus is a specific challenge that needs specific solutions, targeted at this use case."
• "Classification must integrate well, because user convenience is the key to success."
• "This makes TITUS Classification for Mobile on the one hand a classification solution for email on mobile devices."
• "Thus, it goes well beyond pure classification, while classification is an important element."
• "The obvious challenge for TITUS is that the vendors TITUS provides the added capabilities to might add some of these capabilities natively, which might make the solution redundant."
