Domain and category policy

Filtering that works without decrypting HTTPS page content

BusinessProxy evaluates the domain, a local versioned category baseline and workspace allow/deny rules before managed browser traffic leaves through an approved route.

The browser-proxy path does not decrypt HTTPS content, inspect page DOM or classify private form fields. Decisions are made on host/category policy.

Decision inputs

Policy is decided before traffic exits

The gateway applies domain/category rules and workspace overrides before routing the browser request through an approved egress location.

Local category baseline

The category source is versioned so decisions are reproducible and reviewable.

Workspace overrides

Admins can adapt the baseline with allow and deny rules that match their environment.

Routing context

Routing mode and selected egress region remain part of the policy context.

Blocked experience

A blocked click should explain the policy

When a user clicks a phishing or disallowed work link, the block page should say what was blocked and which policy class made the decision, without exposing internal rule internals.

  • Use clear category names for user-facing blocks.
  • Keep admin overrides auditable.
  • External threat-feed lookups run only when enabled for that customer.

Current boundary

Host/category filtering, not HTTPS inspection

BusinessProxy does not decrypt HTTPS page bodies on the browser path and does not provide DLP classification. If a page is allowed by domain/category policy, its encrypted content stays encrypted through the proxy path.

  • No TLS MITM on the browser path.
  • No DOM or form-content inspection.
  • This is not full DLP or content classification.

FAQ

Do you inspect HTTPS page content?

Not on the browser-proxy path. BusinessProxy enforces browser policy using domains, network metadata, category decisions and allow/deny rules. It does not decrypt HTTPS page content, read the page DOM, or inspect form fields on that path.

How does filtering work without TLS inspection?

Filtering is domain/category based. The gateway applies a versioned category list and your allow/deny rules before traffic leaves through the approved egress region. This is not content/DLP inspection and should not be described as reading the page.

What is the category feed today?

BusinessProxy uses a versioned category feed plus operational allow/deny rules. This keeps policy decisions reproducible and reviewable.
