   • BUse the default policy for all endpoints and then use the 'override' feature to apply different settings to the high-risk group.
   • CCreate a single policy that applies to all endpoints, and then create a separate policy for the high-risk group and assign it to that group.
   • DAssign the same policy to all endpoints and then manually change the settings on each high-risk endpoint.
