Vendor Policies and Side Panel Overview

The Vendor Policies tab shows the Vendor Policy List discovered from the third-party vendor. From here, you can also browse, view changes, and manage synchronization between the vendor and Platform.

Clicking a Policy in the list opens the Policy Side Panel. This panel is designed to compare between the current Policy on the Platform and the vendor platform.

  • The Suggested Policy: The Policy that is currently available in the PlainID Platform, translated into the vendor's language as of the last discovery.
  • The Deployed Policy: The Policy that is currently available in the vendor's system as per the last discovery date.

The panel allows you to easily view discrepancies, understand changes, and manage Policy deployment back to the vendor by using the Deploy Suggested Policy button.

Discrepencies between PlainID and Vendor Policies

Discrepancies between Suggested and Deployed Policies may appear depending on the Workspace mode:

  • Learn Mode:
    When in Learn mode, Polices are created in the third-party vendor application and represented in the Platform. The Policy is the same, but the language may differ according the vendor language.

  • Manage Mode:
    According to best practice, Policies should primarily be managed through the PlainID Platform.
    If changes are made directly in the vendor application (such as creating, updating, or deleting Policies), they are identified and flagged for visibility in:

    • The Vendor Policies list
    • The Policy Side Panel (side-by-side comparison)
    • The POP list

Deploying Policies

When a discrepancy is identified, you can use Deploy Suggested Policy to synchronize the Platform version back to the vendor as per the Suggested Policy.
