How to Create a Policy to Trigger on Successful Logins Outside of Approved Countries

If your organization only operates in certain countries, a successful login from anywhere else can be a sign of a compromised account. Follow the steps in this article to create a policy that alerts you, or takes action, when a user successfully logs in from outside your approved countries.

Create the Policy

Log in to your SpinOne account. From the left navigation panel, head to Security Policies > Policy Management, click + Create Policy, and choose Activity Policy.

General: Enter a policy name (for example, Successful Logins outside of approved countries) and choose the Policy Severity. A description is optional.

Act On: Select Single activity 

Condition: Click Select condition and add the following two conditions:

  • Action Type Is Successful Login
  • Countries “Is not” your approved countries. Select each country your users are allowed to log in from.

Action: Click Select action and choose what SpinOne should do when the policy triggers. You can select more than one:

  • Require Password Change: the user must change their password at their next login.
  • Suspend User: blocks the user’s access until you investigate.
  • Send Notification: alerts your team each time the policy triggers.
  • Receive Daily Summary: sends one daily email with all triggered incidents.
Select action menu with Require Password Change highlighted

Scope & Exception: The policy applies to Everyone by default. To limit it to specific users or groups, or to exclude someone, click Select scope & exception.

Save the policy. That’s it!
