# Policy Scopes

Policies may be created and applied with an Organization, Entity, or Project scope. Each policy scope limits its application to those entities, projects, and scans under which the policy is created. 

**Organization scoped policies**, those created from the top-level Policy menu will be checked against all scan results occurring within all entities and projects that belong to the organization.

**Entity scoped policies** created from the Policies menu option within each Entity will be checked against all scans for projects associated with the current Entity and all subordinate entities.
