Hancom Office Policy Settings

[Policy] > [Basic Decontamination Policy] > [Hancom Office] Settings

This is a security settings tab specialized for Hancom Office (HWP, etc.) documents.
By removing scripts, objects, hyperlinks, etc., document-based threats can be blocked, and policies to address compatibility issues or non-standard format problems that may arise due to Hancom document characteristics are also included.

⚠️ The basic declassification policy setting authority is granted to [Administrator Type - Super Administrator], and
Administrator permission settings can be done in [Administrator] > [Administrator List].


Detailed Description of Settings Items

Policy NameExplanation
Removing Objects in Hancom Office DocumentsSet whether to remove OLE objects (spreadsheets, charts, videos, etc.) inserted in Hancom Office documents. OLE objects are external linked objects within the document, and they can execute external programs when the document is viewed, posing a risk of malware execution.
Removing Hyperlink Settings in Hancom Office DocumentSet whether to remove hyperlinks included in Hancom Office documents. Hyperlinks can lead to malicious sites or cause security threats through external connections.
Hancom Office Document Script Removal SettingsSet whether to remove scripts included in Hancom Office documents. Scripts are codes that automatically execute when the document is viewed and are a major pathway for the execution of malicious code.
Hancom Office Distribution Document Blocking SettingsSet the blocking status of the Korean document saved for distribution. Distribution documents are in a format with restricted modifications, which may have security vulnerabilities and the possibility of malicious code being inserted.
Blocking the creation of non-standard MS Office files in Hancom Office settingsSet the blocking status for Microsoft Office format documents created in Hancom Office. Hancom Office has structural differences due to its independent implementation of some MS formats, making it difficult to guarantee consistency during sanitization.
