DTOO187 - Office System - Rights managed Office Open XML files must be protected.

Information

When Information Rights Management (IRM) is used to restrict access to an Office Open XML document, any metadata associated with the document is not encrypted. This configuration could allow potentially sensitive information such as the document author and hyperlink references to be exposed to unauthorized people.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2010 -> Security Settings 'Protect document metadata for rights managed Office Open XML Files' to 'Enabled'.
