Curious what is actually checked when a posture check verifies that a disk is actually encrypted? What is the mechanism that verifies the encryption status?

Disk encryption condition is its own category, separate from registry condition. Besides it also supports macOS.

Such checks are done via a library from a 3rd party, who working with various vendors. Not all disk encryption products (e.g. Dell Data Protection) are supported for the encryption state check.

Thanks hslai. I assume you are referring to OPSWAT via the compliance module but I was interested in what is actually done to verify the encryption state. Is a registry checked? Is there a program state that is verified, etc?
