Detection profiles, categories, and levels
Decide per app which data types BeeSensible highlights and at which level: create profiles, assign apps, and switch detection off where needed.
Detection Profiles
Choose which sensitive data BeeSensible detects per app, and how strictly
A detection profile decides which data types BeeSensible highlights, and how prominently. Profiles live in the dashboard under Realtime Privacy → Profiles, on the Detection Profiles page.
Detection Profiles in the dashboardThe profile list, showing each profile's data types, critical count, and assigned apps.How profiles work together
Every organisation has one default profile. It applies to every app without a profile of its own. Assign an app to another profile and that app follows it; every other app keeps following the default. On the profile list, Set default makes a different profile the default.
The profile BeeSensible provides opens read-only. To change anything, use Create a profile from this in the view: you get an editable copy to start from.
Levels
For each enabled data type you pick a level. It decides the highlight your team sees, in the words the screen itself uses.
| Level | Highlight |
|---|---|
| Standard | yellow highlight |
| Critical | red highlight, high visibility |
| Detect off | no highlight |
Create a profile
Open the form
Click New Profile on the profile list. In the What to detect block, pick your starting point at Start from: either Default, which copies the default profile's choices, or Blank, which starts with everything off.
Fill in the profile details
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Profile name | Required; this name shows up in the list and on assigned apps |
| Description (optional) | What the profile is for |
Choose where the profile applies
Under Where this profile applies, tick the apps that should use this profile; the search field narrows the list. Each app shows where it currently sits: On Default, Moves from another profile, or Assigned here. Apps you leave unticked keep using the default profile.
Apps labelled Web + desktop also apply to the BeeSensible desktop app.
Choose what to detect
The list shows every data type with example values on each row. Per row, tick Detect on or off and pick Standard or Critical under Level.
To move faster:
- Group by category splits the list per category, each with its own Enable all or Disable all.
- The Search data types field filters on name and category.
- Shift-click a checkbox to toggle a whole range at once.
Save the profile
The bar at the bottom stays in view and counts along: the number of data types, how many are critical, and the number of assigned apps. Click Save profile.
The app I want to assign is not in the list
Apps appear once the extension reports activity for them. If an app your team uses really is missing, use Request an app at the bottom of the app list to suggest it.
I cannot edit the default profile
The provided profile is read-only. Use Create a profile from this to make your own copy, adjust it, and set it as default on the profile list.
Switch detection off for an app
Next to your own profiles, the list holds the No detection profile. It opens the Turn off detection for apps screen: apps you add there are not scanned, and BeeSensible detects and highlights nothing in them. Remove an app to protect it again. The bottom bar counts how many apps have detection off.
Picking a starting point
A workable first setup, to be tuned once the first numbers arrive on Insights:
- External AI tools: set the financial and medical categories and credential-like types (the Technical category) to Critical.
- Email and chat: keep identity data on Standard and financial data on Critical.
- Internal tools: start from Blank and only switch on what genuinely does not belong there.
