## About Data Loss Prevention Policies

Data Loss Prevention policies allow companies to monitor the flow of sensitive information over the network. Policy rules, through use of Data Loss Prevention templates, help to manage the distribution of sensitive data across the network. Administrators can scale policies to apply to the entire company, groups, or specific endpoints.
Administrators can apply policies to both outbound and inbound mail traffic, as well as to the exact message parts to monitor. Policy configurations can exempt certain groups or users from scans and define specific incident response actions.
ScanMail integrates Data Loss Prevention policy management with Control Manager 6.0. Administrators can create and manage the company’s Data Loss Prevention policies from the Control Manager console and deploy the settings to all ScanMail servers registered to Control Manager.
