Colleagues:

As part of the University of Delaware's project
      http://www.udel.edu/pnpi/
to protect personal non-public information, (e.g. SSNs, credit
card/bank account numbers, medical/educational records, and other
sensitive, confidential or protected data), we have been looking at
software that would scan files and e-mail for SSNs in particular.
The software would be used on systems that we know have been compromised.

Those that we have found so far are:
a) Ontrack Power Controls
b) Sherpa Mail Attender
c) Sherpa Discovery Attender
d) Quest Recover Manager for Exchange
e) Copernic

Are any of you using one of these products, or a different one, and
willing to share your experiences?

You can respond to me and I will summarize to the list.
Thank you!
