SM: Resctict the scope of a security policy using tags

Greetings

 

Wondering If I am missing something obvious here so excuse me if that's the case.

 

Is is possible to resctict the scope of a security policy to a device group using tags?

In my dashboard, when I create a security policy, it is applied to all devices...

 

Shoud I use the Security policy mappings setting under System Manager -> ISE settings?

If so, excuse me for my ignorance but I don't understand why this setting falls under the ISE settings, so I haven't tried it yet in fear of messing up something... (we don't use the ISE SCEP Wi-Fi profile feature).

 

Thanks for your help!

Using Security Policies to Control Profiles

Similar to other types of tags, security policy compliance can be used to dynamically control which client devices will receive a particular profile. Both "Compliant" and "Violating" tags will be available for each configured security policy in the Scope for a given profile.

 

The example image below shows the Scope for a profile containing VPN settings, which should only be pushed to devices with the "vpn" tag and are compliant with the security policy indicated.

@kYutobi 's solution is correct. I'll feed back to Product Management that it would be advantageous to scope a security policy to a group of devices. 

 

But, you can, as @kYutobi mentioned, achieve this in a different way, such as:

What is it that you're using the Security Policy for?

Profiles and target groups are great, but..
We use security policies to audit device compliance, we don't use them to apply profiles or tags.
So as of right now, we can't restrict the scope of security policies to specific devices.

Thanks for your anwers folks.
