DYNAMICALLY UPDATED SECURE HANDLING OF DOCUMENTS CONTAINING RESTRICTED INFORMATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for securely handling one or more documents, the method comprising software executing on a computer system to execute the steps of:
- segmenting the documents into critical sections, sub-critical sections and/or non-critical sections;
each critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as individually corresponding to restricted information, each sub-critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as individually not corresponding to restricted information but collectively with other sub-critical sections as corresponding to restricted information, each non-critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as not corresponding to restricted information, the initial information security rules determined according to an initial set of relevant jurisdictions;
handling the critical sections at secure location(s);
handling the sub-critical and/or non-critical sections at minimally secure location(s);
when a new jurisdiction becomes relevant, updating the information security rules according to the new jurisdiction; and
adjusting handling of the sections according to the updated information security rules.

11. A system implemented on a computer for securely handling one or more documents, the system comprising:
-
a document-dividing module, for segmenting the documents into critical sections, sub-critical sections and/or non-critical sections;
each critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as individually corresponding to restricted information, each sub-critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as individually not corresponding to restricted information but collectively with other sub-critical sections as corresponding to restricted information, each non-critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as not corresponding to restricted information, the initial information security rules determined according to an initial set of relevant jurisdictions;
wherein the critical sections are handled at secure location(s), and the sub-critical and/or non-critical sections are handled at minimally secure location(s); anda rules determination module for, when a new jurisdiction becomes relevant, updating the information security rules according to the new jurisdiction; wherein handling of the sections is adjusted according to the updated information security rules.

12. A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising a tangible computer usable medium having a computer program code embodied therein for securely handling one or more documents, the computer program code performing the steps of:
-
segmenting the documents into critical sections, sub-critical sections and/or non-critical sections;
each critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as individually corresponding to restricted information, each sub-critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as individually not corresponding to restricted information but collectively with other sub-critical sections as corresponding to restricted information, each non-critical section containing data that is defined by initial information security rules as not corresponding to restricted information, the initial information security rules determined according to an initial set of relevant jurisdictions;handling the critical sections at secure location(s); handling the sub-critical and/or non-critical sections at minimally secure location(s); when a new jurisdiction becomes relevant, updating the information security rules according to the new jurisdiction; and adjusting handling of the sections according to the updated information security rules.
