Abstract
Systems and methods for distributing work among a plurality of workers in a distributed environment using a granularity determinator module to determine a desired granularity of a data to be worked-on whereby each one of a plurality of document subcomponents individually maintains a level of security based on a security policy. The data is separated out into a plurality of subcomponents which are transmitted to respective workers. A consolidator module can be used to consolidate subcomponents worked on by the respective workers into one worked-on document or file for validation purposes. The system and methods provide an efficient and cost effective way to distribute confidential work to workers without compromising the confidentiality of the information contained in the document or file being worked on.
