The Devices page tracks all employee endpoints — laptops, desktops, and mobile devices — and monitors their security compliance status. Auditors need evidence that company devices meet baseline security requirements, and this module provides it.
This page covers the Devices list under People. For how the Device Monitor is installed and activated, what it collects, and how to clear a failing check, see Device Management.

​
What Devices is for

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 require you to demonstrate that employee devices are secured — encrypted hard drives, screen locks enabled, OS up to date, and security agents installed. The Devices module tracks all of this in real time, either through a device agent or MDM integration.

​
How device data is collected

Devices are registered in two ways:
  • DSALTA Device Agent — Employees install a lightweight agent on their device through the employee portal. The agent reports device configuration data to DSALTA without collecting personal data or browsing history.
  • MDM Integration — Connect JumpCloud to pull device data automatically for all managed devices.

​
Viewing your devices

The device list is split into two sections: Monitored Devices — Devices that are assigned to an employee. The table shows the owner, OS version, the PW / HD / AV / SL check columns and the Last Check date, and a device stays on this tab whatever its Last Check date says. Unmonitored Devices — Devices that are waiting to be assigned to an employee. Assignment is the only thing that decides which tab a device appears on. JumpCloud-synced devices arrive here, because the sync reports each system without an owner email; use the row’s ⋮ menu → Assign to User to link one to an employee, which moves it to Monitored, or Forget this Device to remove it. For each monitored device, DSALTA tracks:

Working with devices

When a device check fails (e.g., encryption is not enabled), that column shows a red ✗ in the device list. Tell the employee directly — their portal covers onboarding tasks, policies, security trainings and the Device Monitor install step. To resolve a failing device check:
  1. Identify the failing check from the ✓/✗ icons in the Monitored table’s PW, HD, AV and SL columns. Clicking a row opens the assigned employee’s profile panel.
  2. Contact the employee so the setting is applied on the machine — the device agent reports the new value at its next check-in. JumpCloud-synced rows carry disk encryption from JumpCloud’s FileVault/BitLocker status, and their screen lock, antivirus and password manager columns report ✗ on every device the sync creates.
  3. Once the employee’s device meets the requirement, the next check-in updates the status automatically.
A device stays on the Unmonitored tab until someone links it to an employee. Assign it from the row’s ⋮ menu → Assign to User; it moves to Monitored as soon as the owner is set. This is also how JumpCloud-synced devices get an owner.

Integrations that feed Devices

One integration syncs devices into DSALTA: To connect an integration, go to Integrations in the DSALTA sidebar.
