When PortalProtect finds a word
that matches a keyword in a content filter policy, it can take action to prevent the
undesirable
content from being posted to SharePoint. You can configure PortalProtect to send notifications whenever it
takes an action against undesirable content.
Each PortalProtect Content filtering policy
contains a list of keywords, phrases, or compliance patterns. Compliance patterns
can be
associated with credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, and country specific
identification
information. PortalProtect is now fully
integrated with Active Directory (AD) user(s)/group(s), and SharePoint user(s)/group(s).
Policies
can be applied to the following:
Content filtering can be enabled for:
-
Real-time content filtering for documents—filters the content of documents uploaded
or
downloaded to SharePoint document libraries in real-time.
-
Real-time content filtering for Web content—filters the Web content for SharePoint
Lists when
you create a new item or update an existing one (for example: Tasks, Links, Calendar,
Announcements, and so forth).
PortalProtect applies the content filtering
policies according to the order shown in the Content Filtering screen. You can configure
the
order in which the policies are applied. PortalProtect will perform filtering according to each policy until a content violation
triggers an action that prevents further scanning (such as block or pass). You can
change the
order of these policies to optimize content filtering.
Additionally, the content filter provides a synonym checking feature that enables
you to extend
the reach of your policies.

Note
Content filtering for files scans during uploading and downloading, whereas content
filtering
for Web scans list items when they are added or modified.
Content filtering for files cannot scan the content of .eml files.
