Detect PGP - encrypted file

Is there a way to detect if the file is encrypted by PGP using Symantec PGP SDK ?  Looks like Symantec DLP (Vontu)  can detect PGP-encrypted file, but I do not see any calls in PGP SDK to help detect encrypted file. No decryption required, just detection.

Thanks !

There are several ways, one

There are several ways, one of them in the same file transfer network.
But to detect whether it is safe or if encrypts the exact moment of execution, a good policy and comendavel because some applications can even steal information normally. one of them is using social engineering technique d with the tool backtrack
