JAzP for SharePoint 2010 facilitates secure collaboration across the enterprise by permitting viewers to see only those documents and folders to which they have been authorized access. JAzP for SharePoint 2010 interfaces with the powerful ESDS decisioning engine to deliver these outstanding features:

• FINE-GRAINED ATTRIBUTE-BASED DECISIONING
  Provides highly configurable decisioning for attribute-based access control (ABAC) to any document or folder in SharePoint. Recognizes a wide variety of fine-grained attributes including artifact metadata, Active Directory (AD) schema changes, IP address, environmental attributes, and more.
• DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTS
  Supports all SharePoint environments, including cloud environments and supports X509 certificate authentication via smart cards of software certificates. Supplements SharePoint’s own built-in Security Token Service, which recognizes authentication from Active Directory and other sources. Supports Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) profiles and compliance, Web Services Security, certificate revocation list (CRL) checks, Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) validation, and signature validation. Designed for load balance and high availability.
• ROBUST POLICY ADMINISTRATION
  Allows policy decisions to be enforced within multiple applications of the Microsoft Office Professional Suite. Supports segregation of duty rules, information barrier rules, and feature access restrictions. Provides a policy administration point (PAP) with user interface that supports a real time pull/push mechanism for policy updates.
• AUDIT AND WORKFLOW SUPPORT
  Captures all SharePoint authorization activity with a log file and audit record. Supports workflows that include alarms, alerts, emails, and instant messages.

Jericho System’s JAzP for SharePoint was the first commercially available fine-grained authorization service for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server delivered in 2006. “JAzP 2010 surpasses our competitors once again, providing a flexible and powerful policy enforcement point that harnesses the power of Jericho’s EnterSpace® Decisioning Service to secure SharePoint information assets,” said Brynn Mow, CEO of Jericho Systems.

Jericho customers who have maintenance agreements for JAzP 2007 have the option of upgrading to the new release whenever their organization migrates to Microsoft SharePoint 2010.
