Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for protecting stored data. A user interface module enables a data sensitivity level, a data protection response, and a contextual trigger to be associated with data stored in a computing device. The user interface is configured to enable the data protection response to be selected from a plurality of data protection responses that includes a soft delete and a hard delete. A contextual trigger monitor is configured to monitor for an occurrence of the contextual trigger. A data protection enactor is configured to enact the data protection response associated with the data when an occurrence of the contextual trigger is detected.
