Avoco Secure , the premier Enterprise Rights Management solutions provider, today announced that it will present its next generation release of secure2trust and the Beta release of secure2trust for Microsoft Office 2007 at Infosecurity Europe 2006 and Gilbane San Francisco 2006.

The development of secure2trust support for Microsoft Office 2007 has come about as a direct result of Avoco Secure’s membership of the Microsoft SecureIT Alliance. Avoco Secure's secure2trust software opens the doors of your enterprise by controlling access to, and securing the use of, document content. secure2trust provides unparalleled access control options including a unique combined authentication feature. As well as flexible restriction options secure2trust also provides document signing and allows multiple digital signatures to be placed on electronic documents.

" The enhancement of Avoco Secure’s product secure2trust to include support for Office 2007 is an important step forward. As a Microsoft partner Avoco Secure is providing a proactive industry solution for document control" said Gerry Albert, Director of the SecureIT alliance at Microsoft Corporation. "New product scenarios illustrate the importance of SecureIT Alliance as a partner forum to promote platform integrated solutions which ultimately helps customers better address their security objectives."

secure2trust secures document content as it is created - and the content is persistently secured both inside and outside of your organization, creating Secure Information Sharing through the application of Secure and Trusted Enterprise Rights Management.

"Avoco Secure is looking forward to making secure2trust available as a download to support the Microsoft Office 2007 Beta program and will be demonstrating secure2trust with both Office 2007 and 2003 at the shows," said Gerry O’Brien, chief executive officer of Avoco Secure. "The new features in secure2trust which will also support Office 2007 include secure and seamless enterprise signing of documents. This will ensure content integrity, support electronic approval processes, sign-off documents as approved, etc...time-stamping, easy document signing, checks for hidden data and embedded documents, support for unlimited number of signatures on the same document as well as full audit trail of the approval process which helps with compliance such as ESIGN, etc... The new release of secure2trust also adds a new level of integration with Microsoft SharePoint."

secure2trust meets the certified T scheme for the US/UK Federal Bridge use of digital certificates. secure2trust also seamlessly supports the Identrus banking digital certificate standards including supporting the chip and pin (two factor authentication) for both signing and authenticating documents.
