How to install Sophos Central Managed Risk

Installing and activating Sophos Central Managed Risk in a government environment involves aligning licensing, enrolling servers, and configuring risk management settings within the Sophos Central console. Follow these general steps to get your servers protected and monitored under the 56-month government license:

Step 1: Prepare your environment. Inventory the servers that will be covered by the Managed Risk license, verify network connectivity to Sophos Central, and confirm you have a government-admin account with the necessary permissions to manage licenses and server enrollments.

Step 2: Access Sophos Central. Sign in using your administrator credentials. If your organization does not yet have a Sophos Central account, set up an enterprise account in accordance with your government procurement process and ensure it is linked to the appropriate license tier (56-month Gov license for servers).

Step 3: Activate and assign the license. Navigate to the Licenses area within Sophos Central and apply or activate the 56-month government license. Ensure the license is assigned to the server group or asset collection that will receive protection under this term. Validate that the license status shows as active and that the 56-month term is correctly reflected in the account.

Step 4: Enroll servers. Install the required Sophos Central server agent on each server to be covered by the Managed Risk license. If servers are already enrolled in Sophos Central, verify their enrollment status and reassign them to the appropriate license group if necessary. Ensure that the servers have network access to Sophos Central and meet any baseline requirements for agent deployment.

Step 5: Configure policies and monitoring. In Sophos Central, apply standard security policies and any risk management dashboards or reporting configurations that align with government compliance and organizational security objectives. Review notification settings, alert thresholds, and reporting cadence to fit your agency's governance requirements. Validate that key metrics—such as license status, server health, and risk indicators—are visible in centralized dashboards.

Step 6: Validate and document. Confirm that all enrolled servers reflect the correct license assignment and that protection features are active. Document the licensing term, renewal dates, and any agency-specific compliance considerations so that procurement and IT teams are aligned for ongoing management and future audits.
