Use the Policy Library page (Policy Management > DLP Policies or Discovery Policies > Add predefined policy) to review the available predefined policies.

Highlight a policy see the policy description in the right pane.

Use the View button in the content pane to specify whether to show all applicable policies or only commonly used policies.

To select and start using the predefined policies:

Mark the check box next to the name of each policy to apply.

After selecting policies, click Use Policies in the toolbar at the bottom of the page.


	Note The Regions and Industries settings configured in this section are applied to both DLP and discovery policies. They do not need to be selected again. To change them in the future, see Changing policy industry or region settings.

Some organizations deploy only these predefined policies. To determine whether additional polices are needed, start by monitoring incidents from the predefined policies. Based on what monitoring shows, administrators can create custom policies to safeguard additional types of data, as needed: for example, a custom policy could protect proprietary data on file servers and SharePoint.

Custom policies may be created using wizards.

To create policies for network and endpoint machines, see Defining Resources.

To create discovery policies, see Creating Discovery Policies.


	Warning Once a predefined policy has been customized and saved under a new name, it is no longer maintained automatically by Forcepoint updates. Be sure to keep the customized policy up to date.
