Import Policy

This section introduces the Import Policy utility. Import Policy connects Event Import to policy engines in order to apply triggers to emails or files as they are imported:

For emails, Import Policy provides organizations with a full compliance review capability that is not dependent on a preventative pre-review strategy for filtering e‑mail communications at source. And because Import Policy requires no integration with production e‑mail systems, there is no risk of disruption to e‑mail activity.

For files, Import Policy enables organizations to apply policy to any files stored on their network. For example, organizations can categorize, or apply smart tags to, important business documents or reports.
