Email Remediations

The Email Remediations table displays the list of remediation actions and prompts, created specifically for email. This table is a place to view, add, edit, and delete remediation actions and prompts for email.

There are two types of remediations, actions and prompts.

Actions are remediations that will take place without any end-user interaction or notice.
Prompts will provide options for the end-user to determine the actions to be taken.

The email remediation actions and prompts defined here, can be used as remediation actions when configuring lockers and assignments.

Adding an Email Remediation Action

The Add Action button allows you to configure automated remediation actions to be executed on emails containing sensitive information.

The Add Email Remediation Action page is where you can define the specific actions to be taken as part of the remediation that are to be defined.

The following table describes the supported remediation types (highlighted in bold font) and the options associated to them (non-Bold), which appears when the user makes a selection:

Email Remediation Template

The Email Remediation Template allows an administrator to create an existing clone of a remediation action. It reduces the configuration time as it clones the exact information of the template.

Prompt User to Redact SSNs
Redact All Supported Credit Cards
Redact SSNs
