Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for implementing a data loss prevention (DLP) system configured to protect sensitive data in conjunction with corresponding content indexing (CI) metadata. In response to detecting a data loss risk, such as to data at rest (e.g., stored on a file system) and/or to data in motion (e.g., data being transmitted across a network) the system may perform any number of data loss prevention actions, including sequestering the data. The system may utilize an interface to a content indexing system in order to discover CI metadata associated with the data and sequester the CI metadata associated with the data. One or more common sequestration rules may be applied to the sequestration of the data and of the metadata. For example, the data and metadata may be encrypted using the same key and/or sequestered in the same location.
