Import a policy directly into your account from an XML file. The XML file may be one that was exported from your account or one that was shared with you by another security professional. Once imported, the policy appears in your policies list where you can assign asset groups to the policy and customize the policy settings.
Note that you can also import a compliance policy from the Library.
1. Select Policies from the left menu, under Tools.
2. Go to New > Import Compliance Policy > Import from XML file.
3. Provide a title for the imported policy, and then browse to the policy XML file.
4. Click Import.
5. When the Success message appears, do one of the following:
• Click Open Policy to immediately view the policy in the Policy Editor where you can assign asset groups to the policy and customize the policy settings.
• Click Close to close the Success message and return to your policies list.
When you import a policy from an XML file, the service performs several validation checks on the XML. If validation is successful, the policy is saved to your policies list. If validation fails, an error appears and the policy cannot be imported. Fix the XML and try again.
If the <EVALUATE> tag is present for any control, its checksum is validated to ensure that the evaluation logic hasn't been modified since the policy was exported. If the evaluation logic has changed then validation will fail. Note that you may remove the <EVALUATE> tag for any control. When the <EVALUATE> tag is not present for a control, the control is automatically assigned the default control value from the controls library.
