Mobile devices can have the following security statuses:

  • Without Security Issues, when all compliance requirements are satisfied.

  • With Security Issues, when at least one of the compliance requirements is not satisfied. When a device is declared non-compliant, the user is prompted to fix the non-compliance issue. The user must make the required changes within a certain time period, otherwise the action for non-compliant devices defined in the policy will be applied.

    For more information regarding the non-compliance actions and criteria, refer to Compliance .
