Publication number: 20190354691Abstract: Systems and/or methods for deploying and implementing data loss prevention (DLP) policy definition that may encapsulate the requirements, control objectives and directives, and/or the definitions of sensitive data types as stipulated directly or indirectly by the regulatory policy are disclosed. In one embodiment, DLP policies may be identified by an organization to run on top of a set of electronic file systems (e.g., email systems, file systems, web servers and the like). Organizations and their administrators may implement a set of DLP policy instance which are derived from DLP policy templates. DLP policy templates may comprise both structure and meaning—and may acquire a given DLP policy by the replacement of parameterized expressions with desired parameter values. In another embodiment, the state of the DLP policy instance may change according to the lifecycle of the policy instance deployment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Lynn AYRES, Jack KABAT, Raja Charu Vikram KAKUMANI, Mashuri LIBMAN, Benjamin STULL, Anatoly KORETSKY, Andrey SHUR, Joseph SCHULMAN

Patent number: 9438547Abstract: System and methods for the implementation and/or enforcement of an email policy for an organization's email system are presented. A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy may be implemented on top of the email system. In one embodiment, the DLP policy may comprise modules and/or processing that tests emails for such sensitive data within emails. If an email comprises such sensitive data, then the DLP policy directives may specify processing to be applied as part of each stage of mail processing, from authoring to mail processing on the server and delivery. A single policy may be authored and managed that will apply the policy directives uniformly across all aspects of the message lifecycle. Each of the message policy enforcement systems may evaluate the single policy definition and apply the policy directives in a manner consistent with the contextual evaluation of the policy.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Lynn Ayres, Jack Kabat, Vikram Kakumani, Mashuri Libman, Benjamin Stull, Anatoly Koretsky, Vidyaraman Sankaranarayanan
