Zusammenfassung:A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for controlling data access and visibility using a context-based security policy. A request from an endpoint device to receive data is received at a server, wherein the request includes one or more contextual attributes of the endpoint device including an identity of a user of the endpoint device. The one or more contextual attributes are processed to determine that the endpoint device is authorized to receive the data. A security policy is determined for the data based on the one or more contextual attributes. The data is transmitted, including the security policy, to the endpoint device, wherein the endpoint devices enforces the security policy to selectively permit access to the data by preventing the endpoint device from displaying the data to an unauthorized individual.
