Implement device compliance policies
Device compliance policies can be used with or without conditional access policies and achieve the following outcomes:
- With conditional access Devices in compliance can access corporate resources. Devices that are not compliant will be blocked from accessing corporate resources.
- Without conditional access Effectively, these policies evaluate the compliance status of a device only. Used alone, there are no access restrictions to corporate resources because of a compliance policy.
You can use compliance policies without conditional access policies to evaluate the status of your devices. You can report information relating to device platform characteristics, such as the following:
- The number of devices that do not have compliance policies
- The number of devices that are not encrypted
- Whether devices are jailbroken or rooted
- Threat agent status
A list of the device attributes that can be reported is shown in Table 2-2.
