Patent filed for Google’s “Policy Violation Checker” for scanning email for problematic phrases. Microsoft offers email scanning of email “for keywords and’sensitive’ data” under umbrella of data loss prevention (DLP) services. Microsoft Exchange 2013 has DLP “templates for monitoring email with the ‘rules configured to meet specific legal and regulatory requirements’ regarding financial and PII data. Some Slashdot comments described it as a “lawyer in a box,” to help employees avoid phrases that could be misconstrued or otherwise get a company sued.”]
