What is InPolicy?

InPolicy is an enterprise policy management platform. You write policies in one place, surface them at the moment your team is about to violate them, and track compliance without turning your people into data points.

The three surfaces

Section titled “The three surfaces”

InPolicy reaches your team in three places:

SurfaceWhat it’s forWho installs it
Web app (app.inpolicy.ai)Authoring, review, administration, analyticsEveryone on the team
Browser extension (Chrome)Detects policy violations as users type in Google Docs, Gmail, and other web appsEnd users, or IT via managed install
Mac appDetects policy violations across every native macOS app (Mail, Slack, Notes, etc.)IT via MDM, or individuals directly

Each surface is optional. A legal team might only use the web app for authoring; a security-conscious org will deploy the extension and Mac app fleet-wide.

Core concepts

Section titled “Core concepts”
  • Policy — a document your team is expected to follow. Policies carry a severity (1–5), a confidence threshold, and metadata like policy area and scope.
  • Policy Area — a logical grouping (e.g. “Data Handling”, “Social Media”) that owns a set of related policies.
  • Division — a top-level organizational unit. Policy Areas belong to Divisions.
  • Policy Inbox — a staging area for AI-extracted policy suggestions from documents, URLs, or pasted text.
  • Revision — an immutable snapshot of a policy taken every time it’s saved, published, or restored. Revisions form the audit trail.
  • Violation — text that PolicyBot flagged as potentially conflicting with an active policy, either while authoring a policy or while a user was typing in their browser or Mac.
  • PolicyBot — the AI system that parses policy documents, detects violations, and suggests fixes. PolicyBot-authored content is tracked separately in revision history.

Who does what?

Section titled “Who does what?”

InPolicy ships with four roles. The full matrix is on the Roles & permissions page; the short version:

  • Admin — manages users, roles, SSO, and sees analytics.
  • Policy Lead — owns a set of policy areas; can approve and publish policies.
  • Policy Editor — creates and edits drafts within assigned policy areas.
  • User — views published policies and runs the extension and Mac app.
