Creating Custom DLP Policies

DLP policies govern data in motion across the network or on endpoint machines.

To create a custom DLP policy in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager:

1. Go to the Main > Policy Management > DLP Policies page.
2. Click Create custom policy.

   The General page of the custom policy wizard opens. See Custom Policy Wizard - General section.

3. Complete each page in the wizard, then click Next.

   For detailed instructions for any page, click Help > Explain This Page.

4. After reviewing the information on the final page of the wizard, click Finish.

As a best practice:

1. Initially configure policies to apply a permissive action to all sources and destinations of data.
2. After monitoring the results, make updates to permit or block specific sources and destinations and apply more restrictive actions.

   Use the Main > Policy Management > Resources page to configure source and destination resources for policies.
