Direct, definitive answers to the questions that come up when evaluating device trust and endpoint posture: what each term means, why it matters, and how Lorika implements it.
A category of security tooling that continuously assesses the configuration of an endpoint and represents that assessment as a signal other systems can use as an access condition. Distinct from EDR and MDM.
The pattern of treating every device as untrusted by default and requiring proof of secure configuration before granting access to any resource — the device-posture half of Zero Trust.
Continuous measurement of the security configuration of every endpoint against a baseline, with drift detection and remediation guidance. Often abbreviated as DSPM (device security posture management).
Replacing point-in-time audits with always-on evidence that controls are operating effectively, written to an immutable log. Reduces SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit cost and time.
A 0–100 numeric representation of a device's security posture, severity-weighted across all applicable configuration checks, used as an at-a-glance fitness indicator and as a Conditional Access input.
Verifying that personally-owned devices used for work meet a security baseline, without enrolling them in MDM. Read-only observation, voluntary install, privacy-respecting by design.
A security pattern where access to a resource is granted only if the requesting device's posture signal meets a threshold. The signal is typically a Security Score from a Device Trust Platform.
Matching every installed software package on a device against vulnerability databases (CVE, GHSA, OSV) to identify known security advisories and whether a patched version is available.
