On 21 November 2007, SRS Technologies released version 3.0 of our Electronic Document Security software product designed from the ground up to meet rigorous U.S. Government security requirements when National Security Information could be compromised by hidden data in electronic documents. Specifically, it was designed to help the user conduct a "100% reliable review" of the electronic document. Because this product was designed to meet Government standards, this product will be useful for business and commercial applications where the protection of a company's proprietary information and a client's private and personal data is of paramount importance. This product is fully capable of protecting the most sensitive information for the U. S. Government, so this program will exceed all commercial expectations and is superior to other similar programs currently available on the commercial market.

This product is intended to help the honest user to do their job better with fewer mistakes that could compromise security. It is not intended to catch the malicious insider who is intentionally trying to deceive security protocols. This new program is called Document Detective.

Document Detective currently works on the following file types:

Document Detective capabilities include:

• Facilitates 100% reliable human review
• Regular Expression keyword scanner
• File Explorer type interface to browse document contents
• Extract and examine embedded objects
• Delete embedded objects or convert them  into safer object types
• Analyzer identifies structures that are potentially dangerous to security
• Terminates Reviewing (tracked Changes) and removes Reviewing data
• Removes document fragments
• Removes Macros
• Removes Metadata
• Plug-ins to integrate with Microsoft Office
• Redaction tool to preserve format

Document Detective adds a new toolbar to Word, PowerPoint and Excel to help the user to identify and correct problems found by Document Detective.  The toolbar adds the following functions:

• Advanced Go To - locates objects by type and number
• Security Markings – Adds Government standard classification markings to a document
• Compress Object – reduces the resolution of resized images, removes cropped areas of images, and converts embedded OLE objects into images
• Auto Compress – similar to Compress Object, but with no user selection
• Flatten Document – Performs and Auto Compress on every object in the document
• Security Scan – Sends the document to Document Detective after removing Tracked Changes, fragments, macros and Meta data
• Redaction - Remove text of images and replaces them with black rectangles

Document Detective also includes an ability to batch process large volumes of files. The same basic engine is used, but the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is suppressed. Summary files are generated for each file processed, and a results file is built with links to the summary files. The Document Detective batch process can:

• Process multiple files
• Recursively process  sub directories
• Exclude files
