This disclosure describes a system, method, and apparatus for determining the likelihood of whether a digital document contains potentially malicious content by a scoring module configured to provide a page score for the digital document representing the likelihood that the document contains potentially malicious content, the scoring module using at least one of a Word Expression. The Word Expression is an equation having at least one variable representing a number of occurrences of potentially malicious content in the digital document. The scoring module is capable of providing both a real-time and a post-production evaluation of the digital document, and contributes an output value representing the calculated likelihood of potentially malicious content being present in the digital document. The scoring module is also configured to utilize inheritance, such that the digital document score is based on formulas within its own report and also one or more of one or more parent reports.
