Details

Be able to report if an electronic storage device is encrypted. This includes providing evidence that the device is encrypted. 

This requirement is satisfied if the device is enrolled in the Managed Workstation program.

In the event of a lost or stolen device, we need to know if the device was encrypted to determine the impact of the loss. If the device is encrypted, there is a lesser likelihood of unauthorized access to the data on the device.
