The Silicon valley based Google revealed in a blog post that "Sensitive information can reside not just in text documents, but in scanned copies and images as well. With the new OCR enhancement, DLP policies can now analyse common image types, and extract text for policy evaluation."
Additionally, Google has also launched a set of content detectors for DLP. The newly introduced detection parameters are dubbed as Count parameter and Confidence parameter. These content detectors allow admins to easily scan emails for personally identifiable information (PII) in several additional countries and provide better coverage of HIPAA data as well.
"Underneath any quick answers, you'll see a "Top results" section that orders emails by relevance. Below that is all the email results, ordered by date, but chances are you won't have to look here often," added the company blog post.
