Overview

Endpoint Verification allows administrators to assess and monitor the security of devices accessing your organization's resources. Once deployed, it collects device signals such as OS version, disk encryption status, and screen lock settings, which can be used to enforce context-aware access policies.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator access to the Google Admin console with Service Settings privilege

  • Users in your organization are using Google Chrome 110 or later

  • Devices are running ChromeOS, macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) or later, Windows 10 or 11, or Linux Debian/Ubuntu

Instructions

Step 1: Confirm Endpoint Verification is turned on

  1. Sign in to the Google Admin console

  2. Navigate to Devices > Mobile & endpoints > Settings > Universal

  3. Click Data access > Device signals

  4. Ensure Collect device signals using Endpoint Verification is checked

  5. Click Save

Step 2: Install the Endpoint Verification extension

  1. Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions > Users & browsers

  2. Select the organizational unit you want to deploy to

  3. Click Add > Add from Chrome Web Store

  4. Search for Endpoint Verification and select it

  5. In the Endpoint Verification dialog, ensure Allow access to keys and Allow enterprise challenge are both enabled

  6. Set the installation policy to Force install

  7. Click Save
