Why does the subject of a message I received say "{Sensitive Information Detected}"

GusMail has built in data loss prevention features that will modify the subject of a message when sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers or drivers license information is detected in a message that is received. If there is indeed sensitive information in the email message, we recommend deleting the message and contacting the sender and informing them email is not an appropriate method to share this data. SecureShare is the method to be used to share this type of data.
