Compromised data caused by what?
"The major causes of compromised data are virus infections, the unintended forwarding of e-mails, and loss of mobile devices such as PDAs and cell phones. E-mail piracy and password breaches are also high on the list. "

Notice no claim that it can stop deliberate leaks.
A documents purpose is to impart the imformation in it to the reader. So all DRM systems will fail to stop *deliberate* leaks because you can't stop the reader leaking the information they've just read.

Secrets leak because of the reader leaks them, not the <ocument. e.g. SCO's closed presentation was leaked because C'T photographed it!
