Saving files to local drives isn’t blocked by Endpoint Prevent

I need a solution

Hello all,

I have a DCM keyword policy set up with an Endpoint Prevent: Block response enabled. The scan is configured to look across local drives, application file access and clipboard endpoint sources. If I attempt to copy a .docx file from a network share to the local drive, it is blocked as expected. however, if I open the file in Word and choose "save as", I can save it to the local drive within triggering an incident.

Can someone explain why this occurs? I would expect the save process to trigger an incident and ideally block the save.

Thanks,

Nic
