The issues are much more mundane.  Companies usually don't want their
sales people to leak details about their products to the competition.
So they look for software that detects such leaks.  The problem: The
data to be protected is stored in an Excel spreadsheet -- and
disconnected operation is a must.

I expect that it's possible to detect the casual leaker, but
prevention is much harder (and might give too many clues to the
attackers). 8-/

I think you also need to list the names of some company officials,
such as the CEO.  And of course, you must archive your message for
five (or ten?) years as well if you think you're forced to add that
footer.
