# Managing Governance Strategies

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Keep governance strategies aligned with your portfolio by adjusting scope, rules, or status as your
services and compliance requirements evolve. Summary cards show active strategy counts, type
breakdowns, and governance coverage at a glance.

> [!NOTE] Automate strategy management using the MuleSoft MCP Platform Server. For details, see
> [list\_governance\_strategies](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mulesoft-mcp-server/reference-mcp-tools-platform#list-governance-strategies)
> and related tools in the MuleSoft MCP Platform Server Tool Reference.

## Display Governance Strategies

Go to **Governance** > **Governance Strategies** to view all strategies. Check the strategy name,
type, environment, target, status, governed services count, and last modified time.

## Available Strategy Actions

- View details: Open a strategy to review scope, rules or policies, and metadata.

- Enable or disable: Pause a strategy without deleting it.

- Edit configuration: Update scope, rules, name, or description, then save.

- Reorder strategies: To change the order of Automated Policy strategies, set the type filter to
  **Automated Policies** and select **Reorder**.

- Delete a strategy: Permanently remove a strategy that you no longer need.

- Change to draft: For Control strategies, select **Change to Draft** to move the strategy back to a
  draft state without deleting it.

## Filter and Search Strategies

Use the controls above the table to narrow the list:

- Use the strategy type tabs to show **All**, **Controls**, or **Automated Policies**.

- Use the status filter to select **Any Status**, **Active**, or **Disabled**.

- Enter text in the search field to match strategy names.

The page updates to show only matching strategies.

## Strategy Metrics

Review the summary cards:

- **Active Strategies**: The number of enabled strategies

- **Strategy Types**: The breakdown of **Controls** and **Automated Policies**

- **Governance Coverage**: When available, the portion of the portfolio governed by at least one
  strategy

Use these cards to spot governance gaps quickly.

## Akamai-Generated Strategy

When you connect Akamai API Security as a provider, the system automatically creates a
pre-configured Akamai security strategy in the strategy list. This strategy attributes Akamai
security findings to your MuleSoft APIs and MCP servers. Don’t delete it unless you also remove the
Akamai scanner. Deleting the strategy stops security findings from appearing in conformance reports.

## Identify When to Edit or Disable a Strategy

Edit or disable a strategy when:

- Scope drift causes the strategy to include the wrong services or miss intended services.

- New compliance requirements call for adding or replacing rules.

- False positives or unexpected blocking require control changes.

- Environment or tag changes make existing filters inaccurate.

Check the **Governed Services** count before and after changes to confirm the scope adjusted as
expected.

## Impact on Governed Services

When you disable a strategy, the system stops evaluating or enforcing that strategy for matching
services.

When you delete a strategy, active governance for that strategy stops. Historical data retention
depends on your reporting backend.

Coordinate with service owners and your governance team if changes affect production services or
compliance reporting that your organization relies on.
