A computer system comprising: one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to provide safe access of a data item accessed through one of a plurality of access channels while concurrently providing a policy check of the data item, the computer-executable instructions including instructions that are executable to cause the computer system to perform at least the following: receive an indication associated with accessing a data item through one access channel of a plurality of access channels; and in response to receiving the indication associated with accessing the data item, automatically perform at least the following regardless of the access channel through which the data item was accessed: analyzing the data item to determine whether the data item satisfies a policy, wherein determining whether the data item satisfies the policy comprises generating a virtual machine to activate the data item; while determining whether the data item satisfies the policy: translating the data item into a different safe access version of the data item; and providing the safe access version of the data item; and giving full access to the data item when the data item satisfies applicable policy. one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to provide safe access of a data item accessed through one of a plurality of access channels while concurrently providing a policy check of the data item, the computer-executable instructions including instructions that are executable to cause the computer system to perform at least the following: receive an indication associated with accessing a data item through one access channel of a plurality of access channels; and in response to receiving the indication associated with accessing the data item, automatically perform at least the following regardless of the access channel through which the data item was accessed: analyzing the data item to determine whether the data item satisfies a policy, wherein determining whether the data item satisfies the policy comprises generating a virtual machine to activate the data item; while determining whether the data item satisfies the policy: translating the data item into a different safe access version of the data item; and providing the safe access version of the data item; and giving full access to the data item when the data item satisfies applicable policy. receive an indication associated with accessing a data item through one access channel of a plurality of access channels; and in response to receiving the indication associated with accessing the data item, automatically perform at least the following regardless of the access channel through which the data item was accessed: analyzing the data item to determine whether the data item satisfies a policy, wherein determining whether the data item satisfies the policy comprises generating a virtual machine to activate the data item; while determining whether the data item satisfies the policy: translating the data item into a different safe access version of the data item; and providing the safe access version of the data item; and giving full access to the data item when the data item satisfies applicable policy. analyzing the data item to determine whether the data item satisfies a policy, wherein determining whether the data item satisfies the policy comprises generating a virtual machine to activate the data item; while determining whether the data item satisfies the policy: translating the data item into a different safe access version of the data item; and providing the safe access version of the data item; and translating the data item into a different safe access version of the data item; and providing the safe access version of the data item; and giving full access to the data item when the data item satisfies applicable policy.
