Metadata Removal Policy

Author(s): Timothy Hickernell

Some of the information stored in Microsoft Office and PDF document metadata is confidential and may expose corporations to very real risks when it is shared with people outside the company. This can put an enterprise at financial risk and degrade corporate credibility. This policy contains sections on the following: metadata definitions, metadata creation, policy for non-compliance, contacts, and declaration of understanding. Mitigate such risks by using Info-Tech's Metadata Removal Policy.
