Web reputation policies dictate whether OfficeScan will block or allow access to a website.

You can configure policies for internal and external clients. OfficeScan administrators typically configure a stricter policy for external clients.

Policies are granular settings in the OfficeScan client tree. You can enforce specific policies to client groups or individual clients. You can also enforce a single policy to all clients.

After you deploy the policies, clients use the location criteria you have set in the Computer Location screen (see Computer Location) to determine their location and the policy to apply. Clients switch policies each time the location changes.
