Plans for access to protection policies?

Question

Are there any plans on the roadmap to expose (possibly read-only) data about individual protection policies for each tenant? 
 Things like scheduled scan date, per-policy exclusions, computer/group scoping, etc.

Hello Trevor and Skylar, I can shed some light on our plans for policy based APIs. If I were to classify the requests here, it looks like we have two requests. 
 
 Policy management APIs for tenants 
 Reporting of Policies for rapid insights and response 
 
 At current, we do not have plans for reporting API, however recognize this functionality is important to our customer base and are actively discussing what a full suite of reporting APIs and functionality would look like, and where it would fall on our backlog. 
 Now, for some good new! We are currently in active development on a full set of policy management APIs at the tenant level, which are currently due to release early in the first quarter of the 2021 calendar year. This will include functionality for policy retrieval and management across: 
 
 Endpoint enumeration 
 Application control 
 DLP 
 Windows Endpoint firewall management 
 Peripheral control 
 Threat protection 
 Update management 
 Web control 
 Server Lockdown 
 File integrity monitoring 
 
 Initial release will cover the ability to: 
 
 Retrieve all policies for a given Tenant 
 Retrieve a single policy for a given Tenant 
 Update policy order priority 
 Update an existing policy

Hi Trevor, Unfortunately policy retrieval is not currently possible in our Central API. I am not sure on an ETA for it in the future either.

Hi Matthew, Unfortunately, as is often the case in the product management world, we did have to pause the Policy management API development as an emergency high priority item came in this summer that we had to shift the teams to work on. We are planning on resuming this initiative toward the end of the year, but I don't have any better dates I can provide for you at this time.
