Sophos Endpoint Assessment Test

Sophos

The Endpoint Assessment Test is a free tool that scans a computer and assesses whether it is a security risk to your organization.

Is your computer putting your organization’s security at risk?

A single scan checks that:

  • your Microsoft service pack is the current one for your operating system
  • your Microsoft patches are all up to date
  • antivirus protection is installed, running and current
  • a personal firewall is installed and running

The Endpoint Assessment Test checks for more than 700 patches, 70 anti-virus applications and 40 firewall applications. It uses the Sophos Java-based dissolvable compliance agent to scan in passive “report-only” mode. Once the scan is done, the agent presents the results.

Test results show 85% of corporate endpoints failed a basic check

After collecting information from thousands of PCs worldwide, test results show that 85% of corporate endpoints fail one or more basic checks. Of the computers tested:

  • 66% were missing at least one Microsoft security patch
  • 51% of endpoints tested had disabled client firewalls
  • 20% had out-of-date or disabled endpoint security software
