Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining risk associated with data loss or data leakage from digital data files within a secure data environment, the method comprising: a) initializing risk scores of the digital data files based on a rule set; b) monitoring ongoing interaction with the digital data files and making adjustments to risk score of at least a first data file in response to ongoing interaction with the first data file; c) identifying commonalities across data files; d) at least partially propagating risk scores between digital data files by propagating said adjustments to the risk score of said first data file to the risk score of a second data file based on said identified commonalities and/or data flow between said first data file and said second data file; and e) identifying data loss or leakage risk based on risk scores, and optionally acting to mitigate said risk, wherein risk scores provide an indication of probability of data loss or leakage and/or consequences of data loss or data leakage from said digital data files.
