Enable 2-Step Verification for all users.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A. Setting up an organizational-wide policy to enforce disk encryption before granting Google Workspace access is paramount in ensuring that only devices with encrypted drives can access Google Workspace applications. This policy will ensure that all devices, regardless of their operating system, comply with the encryption requirement before accessing sensitive data.
B. Manually encrypting each device's hard drive is not a scalable solution for enforcing the policy of only allowing devices with encrypted drives to access Google Workspace applications. This approach would be time-consuming, prone to human error, and difficult to manage across a large number of devices in an organization. A centralized policy enforcement mechanism is more effective in this scenario.
C. Mandating a complex password policy across all devices is important for overall security, but it does not specifically address the need to ensure that only devices with encrypted drives can access Google Workspace applications. While strong passwords are essential, they do not guarantee the encryption of device drives.
D. Enabling 2-Step Verification for all users is a good security practice, but it does not directly address the requirement of ensuring that only devices with encrypted drives can access Google Workspace applications. 2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of security for user accounts, but it does not enforce disk encryption on devices.
