# Safeguarding your environment

This custom property setting helps minimize the risk of malicious acts in your environment.

Configuration property | Default setting | Description
--- | --- | ---
`disable.spotfire.trust.checks` | `FALSE` | By default, the Spotfire Service for Python checks whether a data function has come from a trusted source. Set to `TRUE` to not check for the data function trust status of any data function run on the Spotfire Service for Python. Warning: Setting this value to `TRUE` results in all Spotfire data functions executing unrestricted. We strongly recommend that you ensure that your service is fully secured, that engine containers are enabled, and that network access from the containers is limited (using a firewall) to only necessary servers and ports. For more information about script and data function trust, see the Spotfire® User Guide and the Spotfire® Administration Manager User Guide.
