After configuring the FileVault profile in Intune, I take a look at what happens on my device. Does it even work?

Intune, a Microsoft service, is compatible with FileVault, a whole-disk encryption program included with macOS. Through Intune, FileVault can be configured on devices running macOS 10.13 or later using either the Endpoint security policy or the Device configuration profile. Endpoint security settings are dedicated exclusively to configuring FileVault while the FileVault settings are part of the macOS endpoint protection options for Device configuration.

  • FileVault, integral to Intune, prepares the device for encryption by enabling Intune to backup and recover the key (escrow).
  • Once the key is escrowed, disk encryption commences.
  • Intune policies can additionally allow Intune to manage a user-encrypted device through FileVault.
  • To this end, the device must receive FileVault policy from Intune and the user must upload their personal recovery key.

To manage FileVault with Intune, user-approved device enrollment is critical. The management profile must be manually accepted from system preferences for enrollment to be user-approved. Lastly, account permissions are needed to manage FileVault in Intune.

Mac FileVault via Microsoft Intune

FileVault is an effective measure for data security. Working with Intune, it enables strict yet flexible control of device encryption based on policies. If engraved correctly by the user, the service will assume management of FileVault, providing a shared responsibility model. Intune also offers a built-in encryption report, showcasing the encryption status across all managed devices, further ensuring data safety.

Microsoft Intune provides support for macOS FileVault disk encryption. It enables administrators to configure FileVault on managed devices running macOS 10.13 or later. With Intune, users can create either a device configuration policy or an endpoint security policy to manage FileVault. After the policy is created, the device is prepared for Intune to retrieve and backup the recovery key. This process is known as escrow. Following the escrow, the disk encryption can begin. In addition, Intune allows administrators to deploy policies that enable them to take management of FileVault even when it has been encrypted by the user. For this to work, the user must upload their personal recovery key to Intune and approve the management profile from the system preferences. To manage FileVault in Intune, the account must have the appropriate Intune role-based access control.
