Hey everyone! Quick question for the experts here.
We’ve got all our devices enrolled in Hexnode, but I want to make sure they are actually 100% secure and following our rules. Specifically, I kinda wanna know if our BitLocker and FileVault definitely active and if the OS updates and patches being forced and yes also if our location and device restrictions working?
Basically, how do I know if there are any gaps in our security or if a device has slipped through the cracks?

I just hope I don’t have to manually check 200 laptops one by one, because my coffee supply is definitely not prepared for that today.
Thanks for raising that question.
While Hexnode provides the tools to enforce these settings, the best way to confirm your devices are truly “secured” is by monitoring your Compliance Status.
You should set up a Compliance Policy. This acts as an automated watchdog. Instead of checking every device manually, you tell Hexnode UEM to flag a device as “Non-Compliant” if, for instance:
Encryption is turned off by the user.
The device hasn’t checked in (synced) for a certain number of days.
Mandatory security apps or OS versions are missing.
The criteria can be modified according to your requirement. Once your policies are live, you can use the Compliance Reports in your dashboard. If a device is marked “Compliant,” you know your BitLocker, FileVault, and update policies are active and healthy.
If you see a “Non-Compliant” status, Hexnode can be configured to:
Hexnode can be configured to send instant alert if a device’s status changes to ‘Non-Compliant.’
For a step-by-step guide on setting this up, check out our documentation on Creating a Compliance Policy in Hexnode.
Hope this helps you!
