You may be required to enter your Workplace pin or authenticate using biometrics. - Tap Policies at the bottom of the screen to view the most current results of all security checks present in your organization's Device Compliance Policy.
- Tap a security check to learn more about that check.
When a check does not pass, tap on the security check or view the help center articles to learn how to remediate the issue.
Types of Security Checks
Device security checks fall into one of three categories:
Required security checks
- These security checks must be addressed or you may have limited access to Workplace.
Recommended security checks
- These security checks are recommended to keep your device protected. We recommend fixing these security issues.
Passed security checks
- These security checks meet your organization's security policy and no further action is required.
Viewing the DLP Policy of Your Device in Workplace for Android or iOS
DLP for Android
In the DLP Policy tab under Policies, you will find the enforcements listed. Tap each policy for more detail. The following describes what these policies mean when they are set to Restricted.
- Passcode: Your device must have a passcode enabled. If you do not have one set, you will be asked to create a passcode (6-digits at minimum). This passcode is separate from your Workplace 6-digit PIN.
- Network Access: Restricts the network used by managed applications to the Private Company Gateway (PCG). You'll learn about the PCG in the next module.
- Copy and Paste: You are unable to move data out of managed applications.
- Restrict Files to Managed Applications: This controls the location where work files can be stored. When restricted, work files are only accessible from within managed applications. When unrestricted, files can be accessed and stored at any location.
- Screen Capture: This controls the use of screen capture tools for managed work applications only, such as screen recording or screen shooting, and does not restrict personal use of these tools.
