Setting Policies

As an administrator of a Trustifi plan, you can set specific policies to apply by default to all sent emails. These policies may affect the email’s security features, retention period, monitor content, and more.

Navigating to Policies page

After logging in to the Trustifi web app using your admin credentials, navigate to the “Rules & Policies” page under the “Outbound Management” section and click on the “Policies” tab.

Setting policies will apply immediately to all outbound emails.

Setting “Strict” Policies

Some policies have a “Strict” toggle that can be set to switch between 2 different levels of enforcing the policy:

  • If “Strict” is disabled: The policy setting will be applied by default, but the end user can still change the setting.
    For example: If the “Encrypt Message Content” policy is enabled but the “Strict” flag is disabled like so –



    The “Encrypt Message Content” security method will be enabled by default when composing an email in the Trustifi web portal or plugin, but users can choose to disable it if they want.


  • If “Strict” is enabled: The policy setting will be applied by default, and the end user cannot change the setting.
    For example: If the “Encrypt Message Content” policy is enabled and the “Strict” flag is enabled like so –



    The “Encrypt Message Content” security method will be enforced by default for all outgoing emails and cannot be turned off by end users.
