Overview
A compliance policy defines the company-specific and legal regulations and protocols. You can create a compliance policy to ensure that users in your organization follow the company policies, and that you are aware of the compliance breaches, if any.
You can create a compliance policy by using a predefined policy template or by creating a custom policy template.
inSync runs a global query and checks for compliance violations after you create or update a compliance policy, or after you update the sensitive data that is associated with a policy template.
📝 Note
A compliance policy must be associated with a single policy template only.
