# Configuring Policies for Confluence DLP policies are a set of rules that include specific conditions, actions, and exceptions that monitor and filter data. DLP policies also enable you to remediate any leakage of sensitive information from within your organization. * You can set up policies to scan data that is sent through some or all applications within your organization. * You can configure policies and choose to not apply them all the time. Before you define a policy, or a set of policies, we recommend that you define the objectives of each policy, which can then be fulfilled when you configure the policy. Here are a few important questions to ask before configuring your policies: * What data do you plan to monitor? * Where within the organization do you want to monitor? * What should be the scope of each policy? * What conditions must apply for the policy to match? * What exceptions/exclusions can be allowed? * What remediation actions should the policy take? You can now configure policies on the Confluence integration to determine which workspaces and pages must be monitored, and which ones excluded. You can also automate the remediation actions that you want Nightfall to perform on a policy violation. Configuring DLP policies on Confluence involves the following steps: * [Confluence App Selection](/confluence/policies/integration.md) * [Configure Scope for Confluence](/confluence/policies/scope.md) * [Configure Detection Rules for Confluence](/confluence/policies/detection_rules.md) * [Configure Advanced Settings for Confluence](/confluence/policies/advanced_settings.md) * [Configure Risk Score for Confluence](/confluence/policies/risk_score.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
