Abstract
A method and system for creating a record and associating a unique identifier and a hierarchy code with the record where the record is created in response to identifying that a transmission violates an institution's policy. The record may also be passed to a reporting module which may generate a report based on the unique identifier and/or a hierarchy code. Additionally, the record may be passed to a remediation agent for handling. The remediation agent may also update the record based on actions taken by the remediation agent or updates identified by the remediation agent.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a transmission as violating a policy, wherein violating the policy is determined by identifying non-public information included in the transmission;
- creating a record based on the transmission;
- processing the record to include a unique identifier number assigned to a user which corresponds to a sender of the transmission and a group identifier corresponding to the sender of the transmission;
- in response to a request, generating a report based on at least one of the unique identifier number and the group identifier, wherein the group identifier is a non-unique code assigned to the sender based on a position of the sender within an institution;
- and
- allowing certain senders with pre-defined unique identifier numbers and group identifier codes to transmit non-public information based on a position of each of the certain senders position within the institution, and
- wherein processing the record to include the unique identifier number and the group identifier further includes:
- selecting information from the record;
- comparing the information selected from the record to determine if the selected information matches information in a database;
- and
- in response to determining that the selected information matches the information in the database, selecting the unique identifier number which correlates to the information in the database,
- wherein the selected unique identifier number corresponds to a replacement of a prior unique identifier number that did not match the information in the database.

An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to:
- identify a transmission as violating a policy, wherein violating the policy is determined by identifying non-public information included in the transmission;
- create a record based on the transmission;
- process the record to include a unique identifier number assigned to a user which corresponds to a sender of the transmission and a group identifier corresponding to the sender of the transmission;
- in response to a request, generate a report based on at least one of the unique identifier number and the group identifier, wherein the group identifier is a non-unique code assigned to the sender based on a position of the sender within an institution, and
- allow certain senders with pre-defined unique identifier numbers and group identifier codes to transmit non-public information based on a position of each of the certain senders position within the institution, and
- wherein processing the record to include the unique identifier number and the group identifier further includes:
- select information from the record;
- compare the information selected from the record to determine if the selected information matches information in a database;
- and
- in response to determining that the selected information matches the information in the database, select the unique identifier number which correlates to the information in the database,
- wherein the selected unique identifier number corresponds to a replacement of a prior unique identifier number that did not match the information in the database.
11 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer readable media configured to store instructions that when executed:
- identify a transmission as violating a policy, wherein violating the policy is determined by identifying non-public information included in the transmission;
- create a record based on the transmission;
- process the record to include a unique identifier number assigned to a user which corresponds to a sender of the transmission and a group identifier corresponding to the sender of the transmission;
- in response to a request, generate a report based on at least one of the unique identifier number and the group identifier, wherein the group identifier is a non-unique code assigned to the sender based on a position of the sender within an institution, and
- allow certain senders with pre-defined unique identifier numbers and group identifier codes to transmit non-public information based on a position of each of the certain senders within the institution, and
- wherein processing the record to include the unique identifier number and the group identifier further includes:
- select information from the record;
- compare the information selected from the record to determine if the selected information matches information in a database;
- and
- in response to determining that the selected information matches the information in the database, select the unique identifier number which correlates to the information in the database,
- wherein the selected unique identifier number corresponds to a replacement of a prior unique identifier number that did not match the information in the database.
