Abstract

A document handling device receives a user request to perform a task on document data. The document data is associated with an electronic document to be converted by the document-handling device into a non-digital form (e.g., paper), or with a physical document received by the document-handling device in a non-digital form. The document handling device or a server determines whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy, and records, in an audit trail, information identifying the requested task and the digital data, and an indication of whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy.
