Define and Enforce Acceptable Use Policies
The Proofpoint Content Compliance™ module, a component of the Proofpoint Protection Server and Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway allows enterprises to define and enforce acceptable use policies for message content and attachments. Proofpoint Content Compliance can be used to identify and prevent a wide variety of inbound and outbound policy violations - including offensive language, harassment, file sharing and violations of external regulations.
With the Content Compliance Module, companies can define policies, such as monitoring offensive language, enforcing maximum message size or limiting attachment types. Both inbound and outbound email messages are monitored and classified in realtime, providing organizations with proactive control of their messaging infrastructures. Any suspected or non-compliant email is flagged and can be quarantined for further review or audit, prior to exposing the company to any liability. A point-and-click interface simplifies the process of defining complex logical rules related to file types, message size and message content.
Key Features
Enterprise-grade Content Compliance Filtering
The four key messaging analysis functions of Proofpoint Content Compliance are:
- Policy Definition: Easily define a specific set of policies for different groups, email routes and compliance areas. The Proofpoint Messaging Security Console™ provides a 100% web-based, graphical user interface to manage all types of messaging policies.
- Realtime Monitoring: Monitor email message flow, including attachments, for compliance throughout your enterprise.
- Enterprise Classification: Filtered messages can be categorized into any number of compliance or content-related classifications.
- Flexible Disposition Options: Based on your defined policies and classifications, Proofpoint Content Compliance lets you take action on messages that violate these rules. For example, an email containing suspected harassing content could be forwarded to the human resources department for further review. Proofpoint supports the widest array of message dispositions in the industry. Options include send the non-compliant message to a quarantine, reject or discard the message, reply to the sender with explanatory text, redirect the message for further review, re-route to other systems (such as secure messaging systems), and many more.
Rapid Creation of Acceptable Use Policies
Proofpoint Content Compliance includes common filters and standard dictionaries to help quickly establish policies or support existing corporate messaging policies, giving organizations an immediate benefit in controlling the most frequently encountered issues with messaging abuse. Examples of preconfigured filters include:
- Maximum message size
- Allowable attachment types
- Maximum number of recipients and/or attachments
Meet Internal Policy Requirements
Proofpoint Content Compliance compares message content to dictionaries in order to protect businesses from the use of inappropriate or offensive content and other issues that may surface through email usage. A variety of built-in dictionaries are supplied with the Content Compliance module such as an offensive language dictionary that can be employed to discourage the use of improper or abusive language. The Proofpoint Dynamic Update Service™ automatically keeps these predefined dictionaries up-to-date.
Adapts to Unique Corporate Requirements
In situations where Proofpoint's preconfigured dictionaries do not meet a company's or department's needs, custom dictionaries can be created to manage specific policies. Furthermore, preexisting databases can be imported to leverage policies and information already in use in your company.
As an option, attachment scanning capabilities can be added to Proofpoint Content Compliance, allowing you to apply your policies to the contents of message attachments. More than 300 document types are supported by the attachment scanning option.
