Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for policy enforcement on electronic evidence captured from at least one source. The contents of the captured electronic evidence are indexed, and the captured electronic evidence is classified based on the indexed contents by associating the electronic evidence with one or more classes. It is determined whether one or more policies apply to the classified captured electronic evidence. When two or more policies apply to the classified captured electronic evidence, a conflict between the two or more policies is resolved to select the one or more policies to enforce. The systems and methods also enforce the selected one or more policies on the classified captured evidence.
