Create an Event-Based Policy Statement

Create an event-based policy statement. This policy statement monitors the payroll data set and triggers an alert notification if the employee in question tries to gain access to that data set.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the Quick Links module to a dashboard and click Administer Compliance Policy.
2. Click the applicable Compliance Policy Administration interface instance from the Administration pane.

   The tree expands to show Compliance Policy Administration interface folders.

3. Click Policy Administration, Policy Statement, Create a Policy Statement.
4. Select Event-Based from the Type drop-down list, click Select, and type a policy statement description.
5. Select Object Access Violation from Available Events. This event records violations that occur to a specific object.

   The event appears under Selected Events.

6. Create the following test conditions to identify the employee and payroll data set:
   • Specify the user ID of the employee in question who you want to monitor:
     • Select Userid from the Field drop-down list.
     • Select the equal sign from the Operator field.
     • Type the user ID in the Value field.
     • Click Add Test Condition.
   • Specify that you want to monitor a data set:
     • Select Class from the Field drop-down list.
     • Select the equal sign from the Operator field.
     • Type DATASET in the Value field.
     • Click Add Test Condition.
   • Specify the payroll file as the entity that you want to monitor against:
     • Select Entity from the Field drop-down list.
     • Select the equal sign from the Operator field.
     • Type PAYROLL.DSN in the Value field.
     • Click Add Test Condition.
7. Select the Chorus Alert tab under Actions, and click New under Attach Chorus Alert Action.

   By selecting Chorus Alert, if the employee in question tries to access the payroll data set, an alert is issued to the Alerts module. The Alerts module lets you monitor and investigate alerts as they are generated. This module contains alerts that are based on the Alerts module configuration.

8. Type a Description of the alert and a Message for the alert. Assign a severity of 1-5 (1 is the highest severity and 5 is the lowest severity) from the Severity drop-down list. Click Save Chorus Alert.
9. Click Create Policy Statement.

   The policy statement is now available for use with a policy set.
