  • receiving a request from a user to access particular content;

    in response to the request;

    determining a trust measure of the user, wherein the trust measure is based, at least in part, on an analysis of logged user-initiated communication events of the user on a plurality of communications platforms, wherein the trust measure is variable over time in relation to the logged user-initiated communication events;

    wherein the determining the trust measure comprises;

    enumerating historical data loss prevention (DLP) policy violations by the user on the plurality of communications platforms;

    determining a communication profile of the user based, at least in part, on the logged user-initiated communication events;

    determining directory-services information for the user from a directory service; and

    quantitatively evaluating a combination of the DLP policy violations, the communication profile, and the directory-services information via one or more rules, wherein the trust measure comprises a numerical result of the quantitatively evaluating;

    accessing a self-service access policy applicable to the particular content;

    ascertaining, from the self-service access policy, a trust threshold applicable to the particular content; and
