The system may include a memory storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform one or more operations. The operations may include intercepting an inbound electronic message sent to the recipient and determining that an electronic document attached to the inbound electronic message includes metadata. The operations may also include creating a modified electronic document by removing at least a portion of the metadata from the attached electronic document, generating a report describing metadata included in the attached electronic document, and generating information for sending the report and the inbound electronic message with the modified electronic document to the client device.
