The Personal Financial lexicons can be used to log or audit email messages that contains personal financial information and to encrypt or block outgoing messages that contain personal financial information.
If your organization deals with financial topics in your email messages, you should define the following three policies:
Create an encryption policy to encrypt outgoing messages that contain a Personal Financial Violation in any combination of subject, body or attachments.

Subject lines are not encrypted and are sent in the clear regardless of whether messages are encrypted. Therefore, these messages should not be sent.

ZixCorp recommends that you use a custom message or subject to inform the sender why the email is being returned. |
This policy returns a message to the sender if the sender clicks the ZixSelect Send Unencrypted button to send a message that contains Personal Financial Violations in any combination in the subject, body or attachments. The sender must resend the message using the regular Send or ZixSelect Encrypt & Send buttons.
