A policy-controlled communication system including a plurality of client devices establishing a secure session with remote instances on a web server using a protocol. The system includes a policy component with a set of policies customized based on parameters. The policies specify configuration settings of encryption protocols for content security on a client device. A local application on the client device selects a cloud service. A mid-link server includes a security developer to determine an encryption link to deliver the cloud service to the client device and a linker to select a session protocol for establishing the secure session between the client device and the web server based on the set of policies. The policies are modified when the encryption link does not meet the set of policies. The router establishes via the encryption link the secure session based on the session protocol and the modified policies.
