Setting up Sophos Central Managed Risk under this EDU license involves onboarding servers and aligning risk policies with your school’s security goals. The steps below outline a typical deployment workflow you can follow with your IT team or security partner:

• Sign in to Sophos Central: Use your administrator credentials to access the Sophos Central console. If you don’t have access yet, request admin enrollment from your institution’s IT lead or Sophos account manager.
• Apply the EDU license: In the licensing area, add or attach the 53-month EDU Managed Risk license to your account. Confirm that entitlement reflects 1000-1999 users and servers and that the term shows 53 months.
• Prepare your servers and endpoints: Ensure target servers meet any prerequisites (supported operating systems, network access, and required agents). Install the appropriate Sophos Server Protection or Endpoints agents where needed, and confirm connectivity to the Sophos Central console.
• Onboard devices to Managed Risk: Enroll servers and endpoints into the Sophos Central Managed Risk module. If available, enable automatic enrollment or use deployment tools to streamline onboarding across campus locations.
• Configure risk policies and remediation workflows: Define risk-scoring criteria, alert thresholds, and remediation actions. Set policies that align with your institution’s security objectives—for example, enforcing secure configurations, patching critical vulnerabilities, and mitigating risky user behaviors.
• Run the initial risk assessment: Launch the first comprehensive risk scan to establish a baseline. Review results for critical issues, low-hanging fixes, and areas requiring policy updates or agent deployment adjustments.
• Schedule continuous monitoring and reporting: Establish a cadence for automated scans, dashboards, and executive reports. Use built-in dashboards to communicate risk posture to IT leadership, faculty, and compliance stakeholders.
• Plan renewal and governance: With a 53-month term, map renewal milestones, budget planning, and any required changes in licensing as your EDU environment evolves (new campuses, additional servers, or increased device counts).
