SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GEO-LOCKED DOCUMENTS

Abstract:

An object security system comprising a data store storing a document, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The object security system comprises a set of computer instructions executable to provide a user interface to a user, the user interface having controls to allow the user to provide a geo-lock definition for the document, receive the geo-lock definition and assert a geo-lock on the document in the data store based on the geo-lock definition. The geo-lock is enforceable to allow access to the document based on a determination that a target geographic location associated with the document is an allowed location specified by the geo-lock and enforceable to take an action based on a determination that the target geographic location associated with the document is not the allowed location specified by the geo-lock.
