Unify intent, specialize mechanism
Walk through the important items in "Unify intent, specialize mechanism" and give the practical point of each.
Step 1 of 2
Unify intent, specialize mechanismthe architecture that scales
- One compliance baseline, written once. Disk encryption on, screen-lock under N minutes, OS within N versions of latest, firewall on, a known agent present - this is the same policy intent on every OS.
- Per-OS enforcement, mapped to that baseline. FileVault on macOS, BitLocker on Windows, LUKS/dm-crypt on Linux, default encryption on ChromeOS all satisfy the same "disk encrypted" requirement.
- One place to read posture. Normalize each platform's compliance signal into a single fleet view so you can answer "is the whole fleet compliant" without four separate consoles.
- One identity across all four. Every device ties back to the same IdP user so a leaver event reaches every platform at once.
