# Configuring PingOne for PingOne Protect

[icon: circle-check, set=far]PingOne [icon: android, set=fab]Android [icon: apple, set=fab]iOS [icon: js, set=fab]JavaScript

In this step, you set up your PingOne server to perform risk evaluations.

To prepare your PingOne server to perform risk evaluations, complete the following steps:

1. [Configuring a PingOne Protect risk policy](#risk-policy)

2. [Adding PingOne Protect risk evaluations to DaVinci flows](#add-to-flows)

## Configuring a PingOne Protect risk policy

Risk policies determine how the various risk predictors are combined and how the aggregated risk score should be translated into a final risk level of low, medium, or high.

PingOne provides a builtin risk policy that you can use as-is. You can also edit the default policy, or create your own.

Learn more in the PingOne documentation:

* [Editing a risk policy](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingone/threat_protection_using_pingone_protect/p1_protect_editing_risk_policy.html)

* [Adding a risk policy](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingone/threat_protection_using_pingone_protect/p1_protect_adding_risk_policy.html)

You'll need to use the ID of your risk policy in the next step, [Adding PingOne Protect risk evaluations to DaVinci flows](#add-to-flows).

## Adding PingOne Protect risk evaluations to DaVinci flows

You can now add risk evaluations to different types of flows, such as sign-on with MFA or passwordless sign-on.

The DaVinci Client supports the following DaVinci flow configurations:

* **PingOne Forms connector**

  Enable the **Enable Device Profiling** and **Include Behavioral Data** properties.

* **HTTP connector**

  Add the `skrisk` component to your custom HTML template.
