DLP - Password protected Word/Excel

Oui, j'ai besoin d'une solution

Hi,

I'm new here but was unable to find anything that addressed this specific issue that we are encountering.  

We currently have a policy where any password protected Word or Excel file is blocked.  This is all well and good when the actual file is password protected, but we are running in to issues because this also blocks files where there is a password used to protect only the format of the document and not the document itself.  My question is, can DLP be fine tuned down to where is can differentiate between a password on the entire document vs a password used to prtect the format of the document.  I have included a screenshot for reference.

Now I understand that information can be hidden in the password protected formatting and that is a bridge we will cross if needed.

We are currently running DLP 11.6.

I appologize if this has already been asked.
