In Specify actions for rule, select a rule group from the Select rule group drop-down menu that triggers an action, if one or more of its rules are broken. Each phrase can have a Score set for a category, under DLP and Compliance Scanner Phrase.
For some rule groups, you might need to specify these options:
The equation for current Threshold score = Score x Term Count (instance). A rule is triggered when the value equals or exceeds the Threshold score.
To understand how Threshold score and Max Term Count helps in triggering a rule, let us consider an example on Pascal Language dictionary. Consider that you have set the Score for the DLP and Compliance Scanner Phrase "PAnsiChar" to 5. Under Select rule group, if you have selected Pascal Language dictionary, and set the value for:
If "PAnsiChar" is found twice in the code, the current threshold score becomes 10, and the rule is not triggered. If "PAnsiChar" is found five times in the code, the current threshold score will still be calculated as Score x Max Term Count which is 5 * 4 = 20. This value is greater than the defined threshold score. So, the rule is triggered. Consider that you have modified the Score for "PAnsiChar" to 8. If the phrase "PAnsiChar" is found thrice in the code, the current threshold score becomes 24. Now the rule will be triggered as it exceeded the specified Threshold score. If there are multiple rules, the Threshold score is the combined value of all the rules for a dictionary.
