1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a document handling device, a request to perform a task on document data, the document data being associated with one or more physical documents received by the document handling device in a non-digital form; and
in response to the document handling device receiving the request, performing the following;
converting, by the document handling device or a server computing device, the document data into text using optical image recognition (OCR);
determining, by the document handling device or the server computing device, whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy, the converted text being used when determining whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy; and
recording, in an audit trail, information identifying the requested task and the document data, and an indication of whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy.

Abstract
A document handling device receives a user request to perform a task on document data. The document data is associated with an electronic document to be converted by the document-handling device into a non-digital form (e.g., paper), or with a physical document received by the document-handling device in a non-digital form. The document handling device or a server determines whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy, and records, in an audit trail, information identifying the requested task and the digital data, and an indication of whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy.

13. A document handling device comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions for a data loss prevention (DLP) system comprising a queue manager, an optical image recognition (OCR) module, a policy violation prevention agent and an audit trail; a processing device, coupled to the memory, to execute the instructions; the queue manager, executed by the processing device, to receive a request to perform a task on document data, the document data being associated with one or more physical documents received by the document handling device in a non-digital form; the OCR module, executed by the processing device, to convert an image associated with the document data into text; the policy violation prevention agent, executed by the processing device, to cause a determination to be made as to whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy, wherein the policy violation prevention agent is to use the converted text when determining whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy; and the audit trail, maintained by the processing device, to store information identifying the requested task and the document data, and an indication of whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that provides instructions, which when executed on a processing system of a document handling device cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, by the processing system of the document handling device, a request to perform a task on document data, the document data being associated with one or more electronic documents to be converted by the document handling device into a non-digital form or with one or more physical documents received by the document handling device in a non-digital form; determining whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy based on at least one of analysis by the processing system of the document handling device or information received from a server; and recording, in an audit trail, information identifying the requested task and the document data, and an indication of whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed on a processing system of a document handling device, cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, by the processing system of the document handling device, a request to perform a task on document data, the document data being associated with one or more physical documents received by the document handling device in a non-digital form; converting, by the processing system or by a server computing device, the document data into text using optical image recognition (OCR); and determining, by the processing system or by the server computing device, whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy, the converted text being used when determining whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled with the memory to; receive a request to perform a task on document data with a document handling device, the document data being associated with one or more electronic documents to be converted by the document handling device into a non-digital form or with one or more physical documents received by the document handling device in a non-digital form; determine whether the requested task violates a data loss prevention policy, wherein a determination as to whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy is performed by at least one of the document handling device and a server; and record, in an audit trail, information identifying the requested task and the document data, and an indication of whether the requested task violates the data loss prevention policy. - View Dependent Claims (21)
