About this Add-on
Document exchange through email attachments is a very common practice, especially in business field. However, the senders may not be aware that some of their email attachments actually contain sensitive or personal information which should not be revealed to their recipients. This creates a potential problem of confidential data leakage.
On the other hand, even the sender is aware of this it is still inconvenient and time-consuming to make a copy for each sensitive document and to remove those confidential contents in the copy before sending it. Therefore there is a demand for the email clients to handle such documents in a secure way.
Our solutions
We provide a Thunderbird add-on called "Sensitive Attachment Guard" which is able to detect the existence of sensitive information in the email attachments (for Word 2007 and Excel 2007 documents only) and to notify the sender accordingly. Moreover, it provides a function for the sender to strip away the sensitive contents from the attachments which will possibly be delivered to the selected recipients.
