how to install Sophos Central Managed Risk

Installing and activating the Sophos Central Managed Risk license within a government environment involves standard steps to enroll and assign coverage through the Sophos Central console. Since the license is issued as a cloud-based subscription, the deployment process centers on provisioning the license, validating eligibility, and aligning governance controls to meet agency requirements. Here is a practical, high-level guide to get started:

• Begin by obtaining the license key or activation details from your vendor or government procurement portal. Ensure that the license is coded for 100–199 users and servers, and confirm the 46-month term specified for government pricing.
• Sign in to the Sophos Central administrator account with the appropriate governance role. If your agency uses segmented roles, verify that you have permissions to manage licenses, policies, and reports.
• Navigate to Licenses or Subscriptions within Sophos Central and select the option to add or attach a new license. Enter the activation data exactly as provided by the vendor, and confirm the license activation status in the portal.
• Confirm enrollment for servers and endpoints in scope (up to 199 devices). Apply a baseline security policy suitable for government requirements, then progressively tailor protections and risk controls to agency workloads and compliance mandates.
• Synchronize with existing security controls and policy templates. Validate that risk dashboards, asset inventories, and remediation workflows populate correctly. Schedule regular reports to support audits and governance reviews.
• Ensure ongoing maintenance by setting up renewal reminders aligned with the 46-month term, and coordinate with your procurement or government affairs office to manage any re-certification or re-authorization needs as required by policy.

Note: Exact installation steps may vary based on your agency’s delegate access, existing Sophos Central configuration, and the specific government procurement policies in place. If you require license keys or activation codes, these should be provided by your authorized reseller or government contracting officer.
