Policy Overview

Policy combines guided authoring, review decisions, governed revisions, and delivery evidence. Refer to Understand Policy for the canonical conceptual references. Refer to Start here for an ordered learning path.

Key Capabilities

Policy supports the following responsibilities:

• Find policies and inspect available detail and history through Policy Library.
• Author Data protection or artificial intelligence (AI) policies with lane-specific inputs.
• Save proposed work separately from the current governed revision.
• Submit, request changes, and approve with the appropriate authority.
• Publish approved artifacts and inspect target-specific delivery evidence.
• Refresh approved compilation output through background processing.

Policy Release Highlights

Supported authoring choices and available interface actions depend on your release and authority. Use the corresponding task guide rather than inferring support from a conceptual example. The API reference distinguishes operation contracts from interface presentation.

Documented Use Cases

Refer to use cases for author, reviewer, operator, and integration journeys.

Supported Platforms

The deployment guides target Kubernetes with the required Protegrity platform integrations. They do not establish support for arbitrary standalone platform combinations.

System Requirements

Operators need the release’s platform, storage, gateway, identity, and integration prerequisites. PostgreSQL runs inside the Policy stack. Authors and reviewers need the capabilities for their assigned tasks. Refer to installation and access preparation.

Architecture

Refer to Architecture for component responsibilities and delivery boundaries.
