SkySync evaluates the tracking groups in priority order--the order they are sorted within the policy. Although a file may match the rules for multiple tracking groups, it can only exist in one tracking group, so it will be assigned to the first tracking group that is matched. Therefore, you should order your tracking groups from highest risk level to lowest risk level to ensure content is always matched against the higher risk levels first.

Cost per Incident

Each tracking group can be assigned a cost. This is the amount a file in the tracking group could cost the company in legal fees or penalties if it remains in its current state. For example, if a file contains sensitive data and is located on a share, it could cost the company a set amount of money in fines if the company’s data were to be audited or if a security breach allowed that file to be exposed. The cost is included in the reporting for the tracking group so you can see the total cost for the tracking group (cost times the number of files in the tracking group).

Assignment Rules

Assignment rules are a list lists of entity types that should be run against a file. An You can add one to many assignment rules to a tracking group, and each assignment rule can contain consist of one to many entity types. If a file meets the criteria for the assignment rules (matches all the listed entity types), it is added to the

The list of entity types within a single assignment rule serves as an “and” condition. A file must match all the entity types listed for the file to be added to the tracking group.

Each individual assignment rule serves as an “or” condition. SkySync will compare each file to each assignment rule in a tracking group. If the file doesn’t match an assignment rule, SkySync will work through the subsequent assignment rules in priority order. As soon as the file matches one of the assignment rules, SkySync adds it to the corresponding tracking group.

Actions

The actions for a tracking group tell SkySync what to do with the content in each tracking group. Multiple actions can be applied to the tracking group to force the remediation through an approval workflow, or you can select to take a definitive action against the content as soon as it is assigned to the tracking group.
