Confidential information doubt

Hi all,

I´m beggining to work with the Sophos DLP, so excuse me if my questions are considered to be "basic" :)

A new SEC customer have several xlsm files containing VBA code on it. They want to make sure that only this files are protected by DLP.

Most of the machines are Win7 using Outlook 2007/2010, however some Win8/Outlook2013 are also being used,

Those files don´t contain any particular message that we can use as a content filter rule criteria, so i was trying to use a File Type Rule using "Script/Markup", but despite it blocks those files, all the xlsx are also blocked (i´m assuming that this, is because XML is "contained" on the File Type.

Can you please help me to understant, if my approach to the issue is the best one, or does the customer has to create some data inside every spreadsheet that we can use as a "filter".

Thanks in advance,

  • Hello RPLF,

    I'm not Sophos and I'm not an expert (neither in MS Office nor DLP) therefore I can't say how to produce a reliable identifier for these VBA projects. Furthermore it might not suffice to do the scanning solely on the client - please see Known limitations with data control. This I suggest you follow the last sentence in the mentioned article and contact Support.
