Browser Uploads Data Loss Prevention Policy

The Browser Uploads Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policy controls the ability to upload files inside Venn's Blue Border.

This policy is only enforced on Windows devices.

As a Company Manager, you can determine whether or not users are able to upload files from browsers open in Blue Border as part of your Default Policy that applies to all users. You can also create Policy Overrides to change these settings for specific users or groups as needed.

  • You will see any policy exceptions under Policy overrides. Check to see if any of your Policy Overrides include a different Browser uploads setting. To view details or make adjustments, click Edit icon.pngEdit next to the Policy Override.
  • You can also add additional Policy Overrides, which allow you to set DLP Policies that supersede the default policy for a single user or a group of users, as needed. For example, if a specific user needs to upload files to an approved domain, you may want to set up a Policy Override that includes that exception instead of enabling it for all users.
