Workplace Stronghold and Select Updates

Dynamic Access Control Improvements

Recommended Checks

Administrators can adjust their access policy to include recommended checks.

• When a compliance check is set as recommended:
  • Stronghold will scan the user's device for the compliance check
  • If the check fails, the user will be notified to address the issue, however, the issue will not prevent the user from accessing Workplace.

New Compliance Checks

Administrators can add the following new compliance checks to their access policy:

• Unsupported Operating System
  • This compliance check determines if the operating system on the device is not supported.  Administrators can specify which operating system versions to be marked in the access policy as not supported.
    • When the operating system is identified as Not Supported, the check will Fail.
    • When the operating system is identified as Supported, the check will Pass.
  • This compliance check is added and enabled to the access policy by default.
• Device is Unknown
  • This compliance check displays if the Workplace manager has verified and marked the user’s device as a Known Device.
    • When the device is NOT marked as a Known Device, the check will Fail.
    • When the device is marked as a Known Device, the check will Pass.
  • This compliance check is not added to the access policy by default. To add this check, please contact your Workplace Provider.
