When using the Halo Portal, you can explore your organization’s protection preferences across three main tabs:
- Policy settings – view how each of the supported file types is processed.
- ICAP settings – see how files are handled over HTTP within your organization.
- Validation settings – review the XML validation options in place for enhanced file protection.
These sections provide visibility into how Glasswall Halo protects your files according to your organization’s security policies and risk tolerance.
Note: These tabs are view only. As a Standard User you can review the current configurations, but any updates or changes must be requested through your administrator.
Policy settings
The Policy settings tab shows how your organization manages potentially risky content within files. These settings define how threats are processed, helping maintain both security and usability.
Recommended policies are usually set to Sanitize, which removes malicious or suspicious elements while keeping the file’s original appearance and functionality. This ensures files remain safe to use without disrupting workflow.
If changes are needed to these settings, please contact your administrator.

ICAP settings
The ICAP settings tab displays how your organization’s ICAP profiles are configured to process files over HTTP. These profiles determine how different media types are handled, ensuring files are analyzed and sanitized before being shared or downloaded.
You can review the settings and see which ICAP profiles and policies are active, including how media types are managed within your environment.
All settings in this section are view only. To request updates or changes, please get in touch with your administrator.

Validation settings
The Validation settings tab shows how XML files are validated against approved schemas and policies to ensure consistency, security, and compliance. This process confirms that XML content meets organizational standards and helps detect structural errors before files are processed or shared.
These settings are view only. If any adjustments are required, please reach out to your administrator.
