Enforcement order
After installation, when you enter a valid subscription key, the Default policy begins monitoring Internet activity. Initially, the Default policy permits all requests.
 
* 
Note 
When you upgrade from an earlier Websense software version, existing policy settings are preserved. After upgrading, review your policies to ensure that they are still appropriate.
As you create and apply additional policies, the Default policy continues to govern Internet access for any clients not assigned another policy.
The Default policy must provide coverage (enforce a combination of category or limited access filters and protocol filters) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
 
* 
Important 
Those upgrading from an earlier version of Websense software may have a Default policy that does not cover all time periods. You are not required to change your Default policy. If, however, you do edit the policy, you cannot save the changes until all time periods are covered.
Edit the Default policy as needed to suit the needs of your organization. The Default policy cannot be deleted.
