We ask employees to install a monitoring agent based on OSQuery for compliance reasons. It does very little. It queries (read-only) OS meta details about whether or not they're using antivirus (true/false), have a password manager (true/false), the HD is encrypted (true/false), whether or not location services is active (true/false) and a list of applications. I think this is pretty typical. Some companies might go deeper, but I think we're in the norm.

- rogerkirkness 6y agoNope
- rebelshrug 6y agoHere's one of a few articles that I found: https://www.npr.org/2020/05/13/854014403/your-boss-is-watching-you-work-from-home-boom-leads-to-more-surveillance https://www.npr.org/2020/05/13/854014403/your-boss-is-watchi... Your company might be less intrusive than the norm.
- moretta 6y agoI've been looking for a solution like this aside from the standard Jamf/Fleetsmith options which are quite intrusive and give too much access to devices. Did you build that monitoring agent yourself, or is it an already available solution?
- c0nducktr 6y agoDoes your company require location services to be enabled, or disabled? I've always kept it disabled for privacy reasons, and also that I've never seen much utility in it myself.
