Managing compliance policy
Compliance policy is the core function of the Compliance Center and should be configured at the
very beginning when you decide to start the compliance check procedure. BIMS allows you to
add, modify, delete, and enable or disable a compliance policy. Furthermore, nine system-defined
policies are provided based on typical scenarios which group the most common rules for use. You
can select to use them directly or customize new policies according to your requirements.
A compliance policy is composed of several rules. Generally, you can add a new rule into a policy
manually, or import it automatically. When you finish adding a rule, a rule test function helps you
confirm that the check results meet your requirements.
