Sophos Central Device Encryption has been a huge help with compliance based issues. Customers that need extra protection and assurance have come to count on Sophos Central Device Encryption. We have sold it to many enterprises and small business clients who needed it for a variety of reasons including, protecting client laptops, meeting the needs for cyber security portfolios, and giving CEO's peace of mind knowing their networks are more secure.
  • Securing Data
  • Compliance
  • Easy deployment
  • simply the interface
  • usability for non technical teams
Sophos is great in many cases, when a client asks about getting cyber security insurance, I can feel confident starting with Sophos Central Device Encryption. If a client has between 50-200 users, this product is very strong. This product is not suited for business cases where users are 0-25 unless they have both the budget and the specific need.

Sophos is the best in the business when it comes to secure and compliant. I have a high level of peace of mind when offering this product to the clients where I am unsure of the competitors. Sophos is a brand I trust to keep clients safe.

SafeGuard is deployed on all laptops to provide full disk encryption to protect our companies and clients data at all times. It also allows us to monitor that encryption status of all our company laptops.
  • Provides full disk encryption.
  • Provides monitoring for all laptops and tracks communication with our servers to ensure laptops are secure at all times.
  • Integrates with Windows seamlessly.
  • Data Recovery where the hard drive is having mechanical issues.
  • Expand policy management.
  • Performance of full disk encryption.
Enforcing full disk in encryption in a corporate or enterprise level IT department.

Not ideal if performance is critical, SSD hard drives can be used to mitigate performance.

  • Positive - mitigate lost or stolen laptops.
  • Positive - data at rest is automatically protected from unauthorized users.
  • Positive - easy roll out to enterprise or company-wide with provided tools.
  • Negative - cost and expertise needed to setup correctly.
The only other one we looked at was Symantec endpoint encryption this seemed less feature reach and less user friendly.

  • In the event of disk response the challenge process is tedious
  • Incompatibility issues with some known branded laptops
  • The disk encryption time is very high
Well Suited
