How to install Sophos Central Managed Risk

To implement the Sophos Central Managed Risk license for a government server environment, follow these practical steps to accelerate secure deployment and ongoing operations:

• Prepare your Sophos Central account: Ensure your organization has a valid Sophos Central account with an administrator who can attach entitlements and manage roles. Verify that the account is configured for the government namespace if required by policy.
• Attach the license entitlement: In the Sophos Central console, enter or attach the 49-month Gov license for servers to your account. Confirm your coverage scope falls within the 2,000–4,999 user/server range and that the license status is active.
• Inventory your server estate: Compile a current list of servers and roles to determine deployment sequencing. Identify critical servers that require immediate protection and remediation workflows once the policy is live.
• Deploy agents and protection layers: Install the appropriate Sophos Server Protection and Endpoint Protection agents where needed, or utilize centralized deployment options to push agents remotely. Ensure agents report to Sophos Central and register successfully.
• Configure risk policies and governance: Create risk management policies aligned with government security objectives, enable automatic remediation where appropriate, and set up RBAC to control who can view or modify policies and data.
• Enable monitoring and alerts: Activate dashboards for risk scores, policy compliance, and incident remediation. Set alert thresholds and escalation paths to ensure timely response by security teams.
• Integrate reporting and audits: Customize government-facing reports, schedule regular delivery to stakeholders, and verify audit logs for regulatory requirements and internal governance reviews.
• Test and validate: Run a staged rollout to validate policy effectiveness, verify agent health, and confirm that remediation workflows perform as expected before broader deployment.
• Maintain and optimize: Regularly review risk dashboards, adjust policies for evolving threats, and ensure updates and threat intelligence feeds are enabled to keep protections current.
