In a method and system for protecting context sensitive information from being transmitted from an instant message client, at least one policy is received that includes an entry of one or more disallowed terms and is associated with at least one action. Words typed into an IM message of the IM client by a user are then monitored in real-time. In response to any of the words typed into the IM message matching any of one or more disallowed terms, the action associated with the policy is automatically performed. According to one embodiment, an example action that may be associated with the policy and that is automatically performed may include temporarily halting transmission of the IM message, and displaying a warning message to the user, for example.
