Laptop Disk Encryption

Overview

All laptops are required to have hard drive disk encryption enabled.

All team members needed to provide proof of disk encryption in the new laptop order or onboarding issue.

Configuration Steps

Apple macOS

No Action Required: We use Jamf to enable hard drive encryption for you automatically and monitor for any laptops that are misconfigured. You do not need to configure anything, however you are encouraged to verify that is enabled.

You need to enable FileVault to ensure that your laptop hard drive is encrypted.

1. From your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings.
2. Click on the “Security & Privacy” icon.
3. Click on the “FileVault” tab.
4. Verify that FileVault is turned on and your drive is encrypted.
