Ewwwwww. I'm sure you can find someone to write code that would use MAPI to walk through all entries in the store mailbox by mailbox and look for numbers of the pattern 999-99-9999. Of course, it gets tricky if anyone in your organization uses encryption.
Are employees going through all your company's paper records and redacting the Social Security numbers? Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Time Magazine's Person of the Year! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Plahtinsky Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 12:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: De-identification List, Where I work we are being mandated to purge all our systems of Social Security Numbers. In the case that the SS# can't be purged we must use encryption. Has anyone else gone through a similar process with exchange? I need to be able to scan the store for emails that appear to contain SS#'s and generate a report so that the users/managers can verify if they are or are not SS'#. Is there a tool that can do this? For encryption of emails with SS#'s the only thing I can think of would be to have the user archive them and then encrypt the pst. I would not want to try and encrypt the entire store. Lastly is there any software out there than can scan out going email that looks like it's a SS# and block/alert user that they should not send? Thanks for any input Matt _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
