Abstract
A computer-implemented method for enforcing data-loss-prevention policies using mobile sensors may include (1) detecting an attempt by a user to access sensitive data on a mobile computing device, (2) collecting, via at least one sensor of the mobile computing device, sensor data that indicates an environment in which the user is attempting to access the sensitive data, (3) determining, based at least in part on the sensor data, a privacy level of the environment, and (4) restricting, based at least in part on the privacy level of the environment, the attempt by the user to access the sensitive data according to a DLP policy. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
