What can an administrator do to ensure compliance with organizational data policies in ArcGIS Online?

An administrator can ensure compliance with organizational data policies in ArcGIS Online by regularly auditing group content and member settings. This practice allows the administrator to systematically review the data shared within groups, verify that it adheres to established policies, and identify any potential violations. Regular audits help maintain oversight over both content and user activities, ensuring that data management practices align with the organization's governance and security frameworks.

Auditing also creates an opportunity for the administrator to assess whether the data permissions and access levels are being utilized correctly and whether the right users have access to the appropriate data. This proactive approach can help in mitigating risks associated with unauthorized data access or sharing, thereby fostering a compliant data environment.

In contrast, while restricting permissions by user, establishing data sharing settings, and limiting access based on user type are all important measures, they may not provide the ongoing evaluation and enforcement of data policies that regular auditing accomplishes. These measures can enhance security, but without the structured oversight of auditing, an organization may still be at risk of non-compliance due to unmonitored changes or misuse of data.
