You can create compliance policies that detect when users have blacklisted applications and configure these policies to resolve non-compliance.

Example of Compliance Policy Actions

The compliance engine detects a user with an application blacklisted by an App Scan Integration Vendor. You can configure the compliance engine to take measures.

  • Send a push notification to the user prompting them to remove the application.

  • Remove certain features such as Wi-Fi, VPN, or email profiles from the device.

  • Send an email notification to the user copying IT Security and HR.

Configure Compliance for App Scan

Build an application compliance policy to perform an action on devices with non-compliant applications:

  1. Ensure that you are in the correct organization group.

  2. Navigate to Devices > Compliance Policies > List View. Select Add.

  3. Select the platform depending on the application reputation scanning service you use.

  4. Select Application List on the Rules tab and select Contains Blacklist App(s) for integration.

    If the engine detects applications listed in blacklisted app groups on devices assigned to the compliance rule, the engine performs the actions configured in the rule.

  5. Move to the Actions tab to set escalating actions the engine performs.
