Our RMS Consulting Team can help augment your organization's security strategy by
protecting information through persistent usage policies, which remain with the
information, no matter where it goes. Your organizations can use RMS to help prevent
sensitive information—such as financial reports, product specifications, customer
data, and confidential e-mail messages—from intentionally or accidentally being
sent to the wrong recipients.

Overview
|
|
Windows RMS includes the server technology that handles certificates and licensing,
a desktop update, and software development kits (SDKs). Combining Windows Server
features, developer tools, and industry security technologies—including encryption,
certificates, and authentication—RMS helps organizations create reliable information
protection solutions. MCC's Rights Management experts have deep knowledge
on this technology. To see how this works in greated detail, please review
our tutorial page on Microsoft Rights Management Services.

- Safeguard Sensitive Information. Applications such as word processors, e-mail clients,
and line-of-business applications can be RMS-enabled to help safeguard sensitive
information. Information workers can choose from a variety of usage rights to define
exactly how the recipient can use the information and for how long. They can define
who can open, modify, print, forward and/or take other actions with the information.
Organizations can create custom usage policy templates such as "Confidential - Read
Only" that can be applied directly to the information.
- Persistent Protection. RMS augments existing perimeter-based security solutions,
such as firewalls and access control lists (ACLs), for better information protection
by locking the usage rights within the document itself, controlling how information
is used even after it has been opened by intended recipients.
- Flexible and Customizable Technology. Independent software vendors and developers
can RMS-enable any application or enable other servers, such as content management
systems or portal servers running on Windows or other platforms, to work with RMS
to help safeguard sensitive information.

Benefit Usage Scenarios
|
- An executive has access to the online financial system. She pulls up sales information
about last quarter's unit sales using her browser. Because the information is sensitive,
specific restrictions have been applied to the report: She cannot print, copy, or
paste the data. RMS helps the company protect its sensitive quarterly sales data
from accidental or deliberate leaks before its official earnings announcement.
- A sales manager needs to send an e-mail message that contains confidential information
about an upcoming product release to his sales staff. In Microsoft Office Outlook,
he selects a template to specify that recipients can only read the e-mail message,
and that they cannot copy, paste, edit, or forward the information. The recipients
receive the e-mail message in Outlook, with the usage policies automatically applied
to the message. The manager has a new level of confidence that this sensitive information
will be viewed only by his staff.
