All I can suggest is to restrict access to these drafts. Only allow
those you trust to read or handle them. Keep a tight control on them.
This can make working with them a real PITA but it works for the
government (usually).
If you have members of your organization that would copy this info for
their "friend" you ought to consider asking them to go to work
elsewhere.

Subject: Invisible ink?
We develop some products to combat cell-phone fraud. We would
like to keep
some of the information out of the hands of professional frauds,
and it struck
me that if we could restrict photocopying of draft documents,
that might help.
We played around briefly with ink colors that resisted
photocopying, but
didn't find anything effective. Do you have any suggestions to
offer on how to
restrict the flow of information?
