How Sophos Central Device Encryption helps
Which of our laptops would be exposed if one went missing tomorrow?
shows encryption status for every enrolled Windows and macOS device from one console, so unencrypted or non-compliant machines are visible before they become an incident
Can a locked-out employee get back into their laptop without walking a technician through the disk?
stores the BitLocker and FileVault recovery keys centrally, so an administrator can retrieve the key for a specific device and hand it to the user
Are our Macs actually protected the same way our Windows fleet is?
enforces FileVault on macOS and BitLocker on Windows through the same policy set, so both platforms are held to one encryption standard instead of two separate ones
Is encryption actually turned on, or just configured to turn on?
reports the enforcement state per device from the console, distinguishing machines where the policy applied from those still pending or failed
Who can pull a disk recovery key, and would we know if they did?
centralizes key storage and retrieval in the cloud console tied to the security team's access, rather than leaving keys on local machines or with individual users
