Secure your Sophos surface
Endpoint agent coverage, tamper protection state, and encryption status across managed devices. We don’t connect to Sophos to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.
Book a Demo[01] What This Surface Exposes
Where Sophos goes wrong
Sophos goes wrong when tamper protection is disabled: every other endpoint control becomes locally removable the moment it is off.
- Devices without an agent, or with the agent reporting an error state
- Tamper protection disabled, allowing local removal of the control
- Encryption reported as enabled without recovery key escrow
- Threat detections left unresolved beyond your response window
- Policy exclusions inherited from templates nobody reviewed
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Sophos
On Sophos we monitor tamper protection state as a first-order control, alongside coverage and encryption verification.
- Coverage reconciled against your device inventory rather than the console's own list
- Tamper protection state monitored, since disabling it defeats every other endpoint control
- Encryption and key escrow verified per device
- Detection closure tracked against SLA
- Inherited exclusions surfaced explicitly
[03] Where It Lands
Where Sophos lands in your registers
Every managed device becomes an asset register entry with its owner, encryption state, and OS currency. Access reviews cover the accounts bound to it, and the risk register carries what an unpatched or unencrypted endpoint actually exposes given the data that person handles. The gap that matters most is the device your MDM has never seen — we reconcile against your directory and HR record to find it.
[04] How We Engage
On Sophos specifically
On Sophos, we re-enable tamper protection, drive agent deployment, and triage detections. Encryption rollout to uncovered devices we project-manage with your IT team.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Sophos FAQs
What Sophos access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs read-only API credentials for Sophos Central covering endpoints, policies, alerts and encryption status. That covers coverage measurement, tamper protection state and detection review without any ability to change policy.
Why is tamper protection treated as high severity?
Because disabling it makes every other endpoint control removable by anyone with local administrator rights, including malware that has already gained a foothold. A fleet with strong policies and tamper protection off has considerably less protection than the policy list suggests.
