While huge steps have been made to increase the security of company information in recent years, hidden document information is often overlooked.
Every time a Word document is created and amended, invisible data tracking the author, document changes, editing time and other document properties are added to the document.
Microsoft Word's collaboration features, such as comments and Track Changes, result in a significant amount of metadata being included in documents. Originally conceived to shed light on data, document metadata categorizes information to make it easier to track and find. When used properly, metadata is helpful. But when used carelessly, it makes it easy for other people to find out details about the document and other privileged information that could harm corporations.
