Prevention of sensitive images such as photographs and video clips from being leaked from an organization uses geo-tagging metadata. A mobile computing device includes a software agent that implements a data loss prevention policy and a database of sensitive geographic areas defined by latitude and longitude coordinates. When an image is attempted to be stored on the device (or sent, received, renamed, copied, etc.) a software hook module detects the operation and obtains the geo-tagging metadata from the image for the agent. The agent compares the metadata of the image with each sensitive area found in its database to determine if the image was taken at a location within a sensitive area. If not, the operation is allowed, if so, the operation may be blocked, restricted or a warning may be sent to the user of the device or to another computer within the organization.
