Topics (organization)

Topics belong to your organization. Each topic has a name and a definition that FireGuard uses to score topic relevance on messages (monitoring and analytics). To use topics on a project, add them under Project Settings → Topics.

Metrics and blocking

Topic relevance drives monitoring and analytics in the product. Blocking uses policies and the security guardrail (see Guardrails).

Browse and create topics​

Open Topics in the left sidebar (organization context). You can search the list, add a topic with + Add Topic, and open each topic’s actions (for example Edit on a topic card).

Organization Topics list with search and Add Topic

Create or edit a topic​

When you add or edit a topic, you set:

  • Name — Short label so the topic is easy to recognize.
  • Definition — What this topic should cover; this drives how relevance is detected and scored.
  • Test your topic — Optional: enter sample text and run Test to check relevance before saving.
Update Topic dialog with name, definition, and test

Save your changes. Edits apply to the organization topic; projects that already use this topic will use the updated definition for new analysis.

Use topics on a project​

After topics exist at the organization level, open a project → Settings → Topics to attach them and choose Analyze input / Analyze output per topic. See Topics (project).
