Policy Builder

Build custom governance policies from object properties, relations, and conditional logic. Same engine as pre-built policies, runs on every scan, feeds every dashboard, triggers automations.

Published For M365 Product Owner, IT Admin, CISO

Policy Builder is Rencore's visual editor for custom detection rules. Define conditions against object properties, relations between entities, severity levels, and recommended actions. Custom policies run on the same scan cycle as the 602 pre-built ones, feeding dashboards, reports, segments, and automations. Simulation mode tests rules against current tenant data before going live.

How it works

Open the Policy Builder, pick a target object type (SharePoint Site, Teams Channel, Claude Workspace, custom entity, anything Rencore inventories), and start building conditions. Conditions can compare properties to literals, compare to other properties on related objects, or reference aggregations across segments. Combine with AND/OR/NOT.

Set severity (High/Medium/Low), category (Security/Costs/Sprawl/Operation/…), a description, and a recommended action. Optionally link an automation that runs when violations are detected.

Simulation mode

Activating a new policy on a 50,000-object tenant can produce a surprising volume of findings. Simulation mode runs the policy against current data and shows what would have matched, without flagging anyone, without notifying owners, without triggering automations. Use it to tune scope and severity, then activate when confident.

Beyond detection

A policy is the entry point to a workflow. Once defined, the policy is available to dashboards (as a tile), reports (as a column), segments (as a filter), and automations (as a trigger). Build the policy once, surface the findings in every downstream view.

Frequently asked questions

How do Rencore policies work?
Rencore ships with hundreds of pre-built policies that detect governance violations across every connector, oversharing, sprawl, cost overruns, security risks, and compliance gaps. Policies run on a continuous schedule, evaluate each discovered object against configurable rules, and flag violations with severity (High, Medium, Low), category, and a recommended action.
What is Rencore governance?
Rencore governance is a SaaS platform that continuously monitors your Microsoft 365 tenant for policy violations, configuration drift, and security risks across SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Copilot, and AI Agents. It automates compliance evidence collection, surfaces oversharing and sprawl, and provides actionable remediation workflows, reducing manual audit effort by up to 80%.
Can I build custom automations in Rencore?
Yes. Rencore's V3 automation engine supports custom workflows with branching logic, conditional steps, multi-step approvals, and multiple action types. You can trigger automations from policy violations, schedules, or manual initiation. Built-in integrations include ServiceNow, webhooks, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio for extending governance into other systems.
