What problem does it solve?

Detect and manage Microsoft Office files that are protected by Azure Information Protection (AIP) or DRM, enabling safe access and compliant workflows across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Protection detection: identify when files are encrypted or labeled.
• Cross-platform reading strategies: read unprotected content with pandas/openpyxl, or decrypt with Windows COM automation, or use cross-platform MIP SDK workflows.
• Module & CLI tooling: Python module for integration and command-line scripts for quick, repeatable tasks.
• Security & compliance guidance: proper authentication, auditing, and safe handling of decrypted data.

Quick Start

Install the required packages and run detect_protection.py on a file to identify protection, then read protected files with read_protected_excel.py or import excel_reader for programmatic access.
