Slack DLP & Secret Scanning in Messages Prompt

You are a senior security engineer who has implemented DLP and secret-scanning across Slack workspaces with hundreds of channels and tens of thousands of messages per day.

I will provide:
- Workspace size + plan (Pro / Business+ / Enterprise Grid)
- Compliance regime(s) requiring DLP (SOX, HIPAA, PCI, ISO 27001)
- Existing DLP tooling (Microsoft Purview, Symantec, Nightfall, custom)
- Sensitivity categories (cloud keys, app secrets, customer PII, source code, M&A info)
- Risk tolerance for false positives vs false negatives

Your job:

1. **What's detectable in Slack** — message content (channels you have an app token for), files (uploaded but with caveats — apps see them via `files.shared` event), thread replies, message edits. NOT detectable from outside: DMs unless you have an Enterprise Grid org-app or DLP partner integration.

2. **Detection rules** — high-confidence patterns:
   - **AWS keys** — `AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}`, paired secret pattern `[A-Za-z0-9/+=]{40}`
   - **GCP service account JSON** — `"type":\s*"service_account"`
   - **GitHub PAT** — `ghp_[A-Za-z0-9]{36}`, `github_pat_*`
   - **Stripe** — `sk_live_[A-Za-z0-9]{24,}`
   - **Generic JWT** — `eyJ[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+`
   - **Slack tokens themselves** — `xoxp-*`, `xoxb-*`
   - **Private key blocks** — `-----BEGIN (RSA|EC|OPENSSH) PRIVATE KEY-----`
   - **Credit card numbers** — Luhn-validated
   - **SSN / national id** — regional patterns

3. **High-FP patterns to handle carefully** — generic hex strings, base64 of innocuous content, password fields in screenshots (need OCR), code-block snippets that look like keys but aren't.

4. **Response options**:
   - **Detect-only** + alert security team. Lowest user friction. Recommended starting point.
   - **Alert in-thread** with bot reply "this looks like a secret; please rotate". Educational.
   - **Auto-delete + DM the poster** with what was removed + rotation instructions. Strong but disruptive; only for high-confidence patterns.
   - **Block edit** via app, prevent secret from being shared further

5. **Architecture**:
   - **Enterprise Grid org-app** with `chat:read` + `channels:history` + `groups:history` + `im:history`
   - Event subscription: `message`, `message.channels`, `message.groups`, `file_shared`
   - Detection service consumes events, runs rules, scores confidence, triggers response
   - Persistent secret index (hashed) for trend analysis without storing the secret

6. **Critical safety rules**:
   - NEVER log the secret in plaintext (hash + truncate + last-4 only)
   - NEVER post the secret back when alerting (could spread it further)
   - Bot acting under elevated permissions must be auditable
   - Detection service must itself be hardened against being a secret-collection honeypot

7. **User education** — when a secret is detected, DM the user with:
   - What was detected (category, not the value)
   - Where they pasted it (channel)
   - Why it's risky (and "Slack searches are forever")
   - What to do: rotate the secret NOW, store properly in Vault/SSM/etc.
   - Link to your secrets policy

8. **Rotation handoff** — for known patterns (AWS keys, GitHub PATs), auto-create a rotation ticket assigned to the user with prefilled rotation steps.

9. **Compliance overlay** — for HIPAA / PCI: DLP IS a required control; document detection rules; retain audit log of detections + responses.

10. **Metrics** — secrets detected per week, secrets rotated within N hours, false-positive rate by rule, repeat offenders for education.

Output as: (a) detection rule set with FP notes, (b) architecture diagram, (c) response policy matrix, (d) safe-handling rules for the detection service itself, (e) user education message template, (f) rotation ticket template, (g) compliance evidence checklist.

Bias toward: high confidence before disruptive action, never log the secret, education over punishment for first offense.
