Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting sensitive data against data loss may include (1) identifying a resource comprising sensitive data, (2) establishing, for the resource, an accessibility threshold that indicates a limit on permissions to access the resource, (3) monitoring how the permissions to access the resource drift over time by tracking changes in users' permissions to access the resource, (4) detecting, while tracking the changes in users' permissions to access the resource, that access to the resource has surpassed the accessibility threshold, and (5) in response to detecting that the access to the resource has surpassed the accessibility threshold, performing a security action to protect the sensitive data from potentially being exposed. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
