Selective encryption service interface for use with third-party network services

A method comprising:

• providing a proxy service for a plurality of users associated with an enterprise to utilize when accessing a third-party network service, wherein in providing the proxy service comprises:
• receiving a content submission from the client computer intended for the third-party network service;
• analyzing the content submission to identify one or more sensitive data elements within the content submission, wherein a remainder of the content submission is not recognized as being sensitive;
• performing an encryption operation on the one or more sensitive data elements;
• storing a decryption key associated with the sensitive data elements with the server system;
• transmitting the content submission to the third-party network service to store the content submission with the sensitive data elements in an encrypted form;
• receiving a request, independent of the client computer, identifying the sensitive data elements in the encrypted form;
• and
• providing a response to the request using the decryption key, the response enabling the sensitive data elements to be used in a decrypted form;
• and
• providing a service interface comprising a program entity interface for a programmatic entity associated with the enterprise to access the sensitive data elements stored in the encrypted form with the third-party network service by the proxy service.
