Abstract
Systems and methods for handling electronic messages are provided. One method includes monitoring a message and recipients of the message, detecting a reference in the monitored message to an entity, obtaining an access control list for the detected entity, the access control list defining permitted access to the entity, identifying a recipient of the message who is not permitted to access the entity, and performing a predefined action in response to the identification of the non-permitted recipient. The predefined action includes one or more specific actions such as identifying an administrator for the access control list, generating a reporting message, and transmitting the reporting message to the administrator. The predefined action additionally or alternatively includes preventing the transmission of the message to the non-permitted recipient and/or providing an alert to the author of the message. One system includes a processor and memory storing code for performing the above method.
