Check the health of a Windows device
You can view the security health of your device to identify if it’s exposed to any security risks.
Based on your organization’s configuration, several security checks are performed:
- OS version: Indicates if the operating system (OS) version of your device is up to date.
- Biometric verification: Indicates if biometrics (for example, Touch ID) is enabled for your device.
- Disk encryption: Indicates if the hard disk of your device is encrypted.
A green check mark confirms that your device meets the security rules set by your organization. A yellow exclamation mark indicates that you must change some settings to reach security compliance.
- Open Okta Verify.
- Click the Device health icon in the top-right corner.
If you must take any remediation actions, a badge appears on the Device health icon.
- Click the gear icon.
- Click View device health.
- View the health status of each security check for your device.
- If all checks passed, your device is secure.
- If you find warnings, follow the instructions to fix the issues. For example, you might have to update the Android version to include a specific security patch or to enable biometrics such face recognition or fingerprint verification for your device.
After you complete the remediation steps, your device meets your organization’s security rules. You can now use Okta FastPass or Okta Verify to access your apps securely.
