  • Patent number: 12177256
    Abstract: A compliance check system to provide compliance validation for a user system is described. The compliance check system includes a compliance checker plug-in on a device used to access a secured resource. The compliance checker plug-in receives a request for compliance validation prior to providing access to a secured resource, and triggers one or more compliance checkers. In one embodiment, the compliance checker is a device encryption compliance checker configured to determine whether a device drive is encrypted. In one embodiment, the compliance checker is a password compliance checker configured to determine whether passwords in the user system comply with password compliance requirements. The compliance checker plug-in further to verify the compliance status of the device, based on data from the compliance checkers.

  • Patent number: 11050790
    Abstract: A compliance checker to verify that a device complies with a policy is described. In one embodiment, the compliance checker comprises a compliance checker agent, to initiate the compliance check, in response to receiving the request, and an encryption checker to obtain an original data and a data stored on the storage. The system further comprising a comparator to determine whether known data read from the upper driver is identical to known data read from the lower driver. The compliance checker plug-in in one embodiment verifies the compliance status of the device, based on the data from the comparator.
