EP-B-11Level 1 · Signal
Keeps a compliant, protected device
- Behavior
- Vigilant
- Level 1 · Signal
A vigilant Behavior signal from device management (MDM, endpoint.edr.compliant): every device this person uses is enrolled, encrypted, locked by policy and running the endpoint agent.
Classification
- Risk domain One of 9 areas of human risk, from social engineering to readiness and response. Every signal belongs to one.
- Evidence level
- Maturity practices One capability a program performs, scored on its own: See, Understand, Act, Prove, Govern and Culture.
- Leads to The kind of breach the evidence beneath it points toward, each anchored to a Verizon DBIR or VERIS pattern or an FBI IC3 category.

How it is used
Programs count "Keeps a compliant, protected device" per person from Device management (MDM/UEM) and read it beside the other Endpoint and device signals; it feeds 0 cohorts, 0 sequences and 2 breach scenarios.
A "keeps a compliant, protected device" event is evidence of a protective behavior; a vigilant behavior at any step breaks a sequence. It is one event, and it does not cancel the risky signals the same person carries.
