Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policies are controls that Company Managers can enable in order to restrict what users can do in Venn's Blue Border™. You may choose to put these policies in place to prevent company information and files with sensitive data from being lost, misused, or accessed by unauthorized users. 

As a Company Manager, you can set default DLP Policies, which are applied to all Venn users by default. You can also create Policy Overrides, which allow you to set DLP Policies that supersede the default policy for a single user or a group of users.

Create a DLP Policy Override

To create a DLP Policy Override:

1. Follow the steps above to navigate to the DLP Policy Admin page.

   • User: Select a user from the dropdown. Type to search for a user by first or last name if needed. You can only apply a policy override to one individual user at a time. If you would like to create an override that applies to more than one person, consider using one of the group options described below.
   • Group of people: Select a group from the dropdown. Type to search for a group if needed. If you would like to create a new user group to assign a policy override to, you can create a new user group if needed and manage which users are in each group.
   • Group of devices (IP range): Specify an IP range and click Add IP range to add additional ranges if needed. This option is typically used to allow certain behaviors such as printing when users are in a company office or connected to the company network.
5. Your default policies will appear for reference. Click Change to the right of the policy that you would like to differ from the default.
