Content Control Lists
A Content Control List (CCL) describes a single type of data, such as a postal address, social security number, or a combination of data types.
The CCL creates a definition for the data that you want to protect. You can use CCLs in Data Loss Prevention rules to control what happens to the data.
SophosLabs maintains a library of sensitive data definitions to let you quickly define and roll out data loss prevention policies. SophosLabs CCLs provide expert definitions for common financial and personally identifiable data types, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, postal addresses, or email addresses.
Note
You can't edit SophosLabs CCLs, but you can submit a request to Sophos to create a new one.
Restriction
These DLP rules are different from email data control policies. For information on email data control policies, see Data control policy.
