    provide configuration data to each of the plurality of client computers, the configuration data including parameters that define criteria for identifying sensitive data and trigger events on the plurality of client computers, the trigger events defined by the configuration data as a function of a sensitivity level of the sensitive data and monitored data communications;

    in response to a notification received from one of the plurality of client computers, monitor data communications of the one of the plurality of client computers for sensitive data by reviewing data communications therefrom;

    restrict transmission for a subset of the reviewed data communications in response to detecting sensitive data;

    receive identified data from applications running on the plurality of client computers and that indicates an access of sensitive data matching the criteria indicated by the configuration data;

    in response to the identified data indicating that a first trigger event occurred, determine whether or not the identified data indicates that a second trigger event occurred, wherein the first trigger event includes at least access of an external email address and the second trigger event includes at least use of a cut and paste operation; and
