POLICY ANALYTICS

Security rulebases hold thousands of policies of unknown value. Which rules actually fire, which never match, and which shadow each other — nobody can say without a painful manual review.

Business Question

"Our rulebase has grown for ten years and been cleaned never — how many of those five thousand rules do anything at all?"

What SPoG Does

  • Analyzes policy hit counts and rule utilization across the entire security estate.
  • Identifies most-hit, least-hit and never-hit policies to drive evidence-based cleanup.
  • Shrinks rulebases safely, cutting audit scope and misconfiguration risk.
