  • Patent number: 11757852
    Abstract: Media, method, and system for providing encryption key management for international data residency. Organizations using a group-based communication system can designate a particular geopolitical area where that organization's data can be stored and another geopolitical area (which may be the same or different) where encryption keys used to encrypt and decrypt that data should be stored. Users of that organization can post message or access messages previously posted on the group-based communication system from any geopolitical area, causing the system to automatically store and retrieve messages and encryption keys from the appropriate regions to allow the users to transparently access the group-based communication system while maintaining security and data residency requirements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11720706
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media for providing inline data loss prevention (DLP) within a group-based communication system. A DLP engine is included to apply an organization-specific DLP policy to a user input to determine whether the user input should be displayed in a group-based communication channel of the group-based communication system. Multiple organizations sharing a channel may each have their own respective organization-specific DLP policies applied to incoming and outgoing messages for that organization.
