Policies

This document outlines the core building blocks for creating, organizing, and enforcing policies. It is intended for administrators and compliance managers who design and maintain policy frameworks.

4.1 Policy Templates

Policy templates are preconfigured bundles of rules and actions that accelerate policy creation. They help teams standardize enforcement and reduce configuration errors.

Purpose: Quickly apply frequently used rule/action combinations.
Usage: Create a new policy from a template, then fine‑tune thresholds, scopes, and notifications.
Benefit: Consistency across teams and faster rollout of best‑practice controls.

4.2 Policy Categories

Categories group related policies for clarity, navigation, and reporting.

‌

Examples: KVKK, GDPR, Human Resources, Information Security.
Best practice: Keep category names concise and mutually exclusive.

4.3 Policy Validity Regions

Validity regions define where a policy applies, such as specific countries, legal jurisdictions, or departments.

Geographic scope: Countries, regions, or sites.
Organizational scope: Business units, departments, or project teams.
Tip: Align regions with regulatory boundaries and org structure for accurate enforcement.

4.4 Rule Categories

Rule categories classify Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules to simplify discovery, maintenance, and reporting.

Examples: Personal Data, Financial Data, Credentials, Source Code, Health Data.
Benefit: Easier auditing and targeted policy tuning by class.

‌

4.5 Predefined Functions

Predefined functions are built‑in detection algorithms for complex data patterns.

Typical patterns: TR Identity Numbers, Credit Card Numbers, IBANs, email addresses.
Usage: Reference these functions in rules to reduce custom regex burden and improve accuracy.

4.6 Data Dictionaries

Data dictionaries hold institution‑specific keywords or entities for high‑fidelity detection.

Contents: Proprietary terms, customer lists, sensitive project names, prohibited words.
Governance: Maintain ownership and review cadence to prevent drift.
