Abstract

A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention may include 1) identifying a hypertext-transfer-protocol POST request from a client system to a hypertext-transfer-protocol server, 2) identifying metadata relating to the hypertext-transfer-protocol POST request differentiating at least one user-editable field within the hypertext-transfer-protocol POST request from at least one non-user-edited field within the hypertext-transfer-protocol POST request, 3) subjecting the user-editable field, based on the metadata, to a data-loss-prevention analysis and omitting the non-user-edited field from the data-loss-prevention analysis, and 4) performing a data-loss-prevention action based on the data-loss-prevention analysis. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
