Using Informs with an IG Server

If you are using an IG Server, you can copy an inform to document owners. This allows document owners who have registered documents on the IG Server to be notified of policy violations. This action can only be applied to the Check Registered Data content rule when the alerting IG Server policy matches.

 

Using informs with the Check Registered Data content rule when alerting Information Governance policy matches

To lessen the chances of an unauthorized user having access to personal and confidential information provided by a Gateway inform, we recommend that if an inform is configured to be sent to anyone other than an IGS Compliance Officer, you take the following steps:

  • Do not include the original or modified message, or textual analysis results
  • Keep the inform message subject and body short with only minimum information
  • Inform tokens act as substitutions for variables such as URL or the message sender. You should use the minimum number of inform tokens when configuring an inform. Do not use inform tokens that could expose content of the email, for example %RCPTS% and %SUBJECT%.

You should also consider configuring separate Informs for Compliance Officers and other IGS roles. You can then configure the Compliance Officer Inform to provide more information.
