How to create DLP policies in Safetica 10

Use DLP policies to protect data on endpoints and control application behavior.

To create a DLP policy:

Open Safetica Management Console and go to Protection > DLP policies.

Click the New policy button. Policy creation consists of 3 steps:

1. Policy configuration
2. Policy rules
3. Policy application

1. Policy configuration

Enter policy name, description, and choose its type (General, Data, Application category).

For application category policies, choose the desired application category by clicking the Select category button.

For data policies, choose the desired data categories by clicking the Add category button.

Policies combining several types of data categories are labeled as Multiple data categories in the list of DLP policies. If you click such a policy, you will see the specific data categories it includes on the right under Policy details > Categories.

2. Policy rules

Select the policy mode and policy rules. 

To view all available rules, click Customize. Check the rules you want to set and they will be placed into the list. 

You can also use the Policy template drop-down to create a new DLP policy. These templates are predefined groups of rules. Every new policy creates a new template which you can use later when creating other DLP policies.

3. Policy application

Click Add users. From the user tree, choose a user or group to which you wish to apply the given DLP policy.

After you click Finish, you will see the policy at the very bottom of the policy list.

Click to confirm.
