Built for how modern teams encrypt distributed endpoints.

Everything your business needs to encrypt every endpoint at enterprise scale, delivered in one cloud-managed platform covering BitLocker, FileVault, recovery key escrow, self-service user recovery, compliance reporting, password-protected files, and Sophos Central integration.

Native BitLocker & FileVault Management

Sophos Encryption manages Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption and macOS FileVault full disk encryption natively, leveraging the operating system’s built-in encryption engine rather than deploying a proprietary encryption driver. The Device Encryption agent installs automatically on Windows via the standard Sophos endpoint installer, while macOS requires a manual install. Encryption turns on the moment a user in scope of the policy logs in, with user-based FileVault enforcement on Mac.

Sophos Central Cloud Management

All encryption policies, recovery keys, and compliance reports are managed through the Sophos Central web-based console, eliminating the need to deploy dedicated encryption servers or back-end key servers in your environment. Administrators create encryption policies in minutes, apply them to users or groups, and see encryption status across the fleet instantly. User-centric management encrypts every device a user owns with a single policy, without any per-machine configuration needed.

Secure Key Recovery & Self Service

Recovery keys are automatically escrowed securely to Sophos Central when devices are encrypted, letting IT admins recover keys instantly when users forget PINs or passwords and can’t access their own devices. The Sophos Central Self Service Portal lets users retrieve their own recovery keys without contacting IT, saving time and reducing help desk load during common password-forgotten situations. Recovery operations are fully audited for compliance and security visibility.

Flexible Authentication & Policy Options

Device Encryption supports multiple authentication methods for BitLocker including TPM+PIN, passphrase, USB key, and TPM-only logon protection, letting you balance security against user convenience across your fleet. Administrators can require password or PIN changes on a scheduled cadence, encrypt used disk space only for faster initial deployment on new computers, and choose between encrypting boot volumes only or also encrypting fixed data volumes across Windows endpoints.

Password-Protected Files & Compliance

Right-click context menu integration lets users create password-protected files up to 50MB directly from Windows File Explorer, perfect for sending sensitive data to recipients outside your corporate network over regular email without encryption infrastructure. Encrypted files are wrapped in HTML with encrypted content that recipients can open by entering the password. Compliance reports export to CSV or PDF to prove device encryption status for audits in regulated industries.
