A corporate information technology (IT) network can protect sensitive data sent to computers located outside of the IT network. For example, a customer of a company may control who can access his or her sensitive personal information by identifying his or her access preference included in an access control list, where the access preference describes a level of access that at least one remote employee or person may have to the customer's sensitive personal information. A data protection server may containerize the sensitive personal information and the access control list of the person in a data protection container. If a remote employee or a person requests access the customer's sensitive personal information, the data protection server may perform data protection related operations to provide the sensitive personal information to the remote employee or person.
