This category displays disk encryption information for partitions on a computer. The Disk Encryption category includes the following information:

Inventory Attribute/Criteria

Notes

Name

Last Inventory Update

FileVault 2 Enabled

Possible values are:
  • Enabled
  • Not enabled

This status is collected for macOS 14.0 or later via declarative device management.

FileVault 2 Partition Encryption State

Possible values are:

  • Decrypted
  • Decrypting
  • Encrypted
  • Encrypting
  • Ineligible
  • Not Encrypted
  • Unknown—This value indicates inventory has not been updated since the last Jamf Pro server upgrade, or that Jamf Pro is unable to detect encryption status due to an error

As criteria, this can be coupled with the “Partition Name” criteria to report on the encryption state of a specific partition you specify by name.

Personal Recovery Key Validation ("FileVault 2 Individual Key Validation" criteria)

Displays whether the personal (also known as "individual") recovery key on a computer matches the personal recovery key escrowed for that computer in Jamf Pro. This value will be reported as “Unknown” when any of the following conditions are met:

  • macOS version is 10.8 or earlier
  • There is no recovery key in Jamf Pro to validate against
  • Inventory has not been updated since the last Jamf Pro upgrade

Other possible values are:

  • Invalid (recovery key does not match)
  • Valid (recovery key matches)

Personal Recovery Key

To view the recovery key, click Show Key.

Device Recovery Key

If a personal recovery key was escrowed using a configuration profile, this will display the "Record Number" message from the escrow profile. If the PRK was escrowed using a Jamf Pro policy, this inventory value is not present.

Disk Encryption Configuration

Displays the name of the disk encryption configuration if the computer is encrypted via policy. If the computer is encrypted via configuration profile or locally on the computer, this field is left blank. As criteria, this includes computers with a specified FileVault disk encryption configuration in Jamf Pro.

FileVault 2 Enabled Users

Lists usernames of cryptographic users that have a secure token.

You can also use the following disk encryption criteria in your smart groups and advanced searches:

Criteria

Notes

FileVault Status

Includes computers based on the number of FileVault-enabled users out of the number of users that can be FileVault enabled. Possible values are:

  • All Accounts
  • No Accounts
  • Some Accounts

This criteria applies to both FileVault 2 and Legacy FileVault-enabled users.

FileVault 2 Recovery Key Type

Includes computers based on the recovery key types that are reported in their Jamf Pro inventory. Possible values are the following:

  • Individual and Institutional
  • Only Individual
  • Only Institutional

FileVault 2 Institutional Key

Includes computers based on whether an institutional recovery key exists on a computer. Possible values are:

  • Not Present
  • Present

FileVault 2 User

Includes computers where the specified user is a FileVault enabled user. For example, to report on computers on which John Smith is a FileVault enabled user, you would enter the criteria FileVault 2 User has "John Smith".

FileVault 2 Eligibility

Possible values are the following:

  • Eligible
  • Legacy FileVault Encrypted
  • No Recovery Partition
  • Recovery Partition Unusable Format (recovery partition is in the HFS disk format)
  • Unknown (inventory has not been updated since the last Jamf Pro server upgrade or unable to assess eligibility due to an error)
  • Unsupported OS Version

For all values other than “Eligible”, the search returns the first ineligible reason found, based on this order of priority:

  1. No Recovery Partition

  2. Recovery Partition Unusable Format

  3. Unsupported OS Version

  4. Legacy

FileVault 2 Status

The partitions that are FileVault 2 encrypted. Possible values are:

  • All Partitions Encrypted
  • Boot Partitions Encrypted
  • N/A (no partitions are detected on the computer, which is most likely due to an error)
  • No Partitions Encrypted
