Private Portal Policy Configuration

Private Portal is a tool used to set policies that apply at the Admin, Domain, and Email user levels to place mail which matches the criteria of any active policy into the Private Portal App.

At the Domain level, the policy will apply to all outgoing mail for the domain, regardless of which outgoing authenticating user method is used.

Add a Policy

To add a Private Portal policy:

  1. Log in to Mail Assure using SSO
  2. Using the left hand menu, navigate to Private Portal > Private Portal Policies
  3. Select + Add Policy at the top of the page
  4. You will now see the Add Policy box. In here, provide the:
    • Policy Name - Give the policy a clear name that can be used to identify the policy
    • Policy Description (optional) - A brief description of the policy
    • User level - The user level where the rule will be applicable
    • Condition - The criteria the message should meet to be sent to the private portal.

      Sensitive Data
      • Is
      • When selecting Sensitive Data as the condition, you must chose one of five available data types to match:
        1. credit-card
        2. bank-account
        3. personal-identifier
        4. health-identifier
        5. any

        We will match against the most common formats of these types of data – for example, a VISA credit card might be “4012888888881881”, or “4012-8888-8888-1881”, or “4012 8888 8888 1881”. However, it will always be possible for someone determined to bypass these checks to do so, e.g. with “my credit card is 4012 then eight eights in a row then 1881”. This functionality is intended to protect against accidental exposure rather than malicious intent.

  5. Exclusion rules (e.g. “all messages apart from”), rules with logic (e.g. “if X and Y or Z”), and rules using regular expressions are not permitted.

  6. Click Add
  7. The policy will now be displayed on the page
