Some of the lists contain a
“distance” condition to determine if a violation is present. “Distance” refers to
the amount
of characters between the first character of one keyword and the first character of
another
keyword. Consider the following entry:
First Name:_John_ Last Name:_Smith_
The Forms - First Name, Last Name list has a “distance” condition of
fifty (50) and the commonly used form fields of “First Name” and “Last Name”. In the
example
above, Data Loss Prevention triggers a violation as the number of characters between
the “F”
in First Name and the “L” in Last Name is equal to eighteen (18).
For an example of an entry that does not trigger a violation, consider the following:
The first name of our new employee from Switzerland is John. His last name is
Smith.
In this example, the number of characters between the “f” in “first name” and the
“l” in
“last name” is sixty-one (61). This exceeds the distance threshold and does not trigger
a
violation.
