What is a benefit of performing device compliance?

Device compliance is the state of devices meeting the standards and regulations for the industry or organization. Device compliance policies define the rules and settings that users and devices must meet to be compliant, such as minimum operating systems, disk encryption, or Secure Boot. Device compliance policies can also include actions that apply to devices that are noncompliant, such as alerting users, blocking access, or wiping data. Device compliance policies can be integrated with Conditional Access, which can enforce attribute-driven policies based on the compliance status of the device. Attribute-driven policies are policies that use attributes of the device, user, or resource to determine the level of access or protection. For example, a policy can allow access to a resource only if the device is compliant, the user is in a certain group, and the resource is in a certain location. Attribute-driven policies provide more granular and flexible control over access and security than traditional policies based on roles or permissions. Therefore, the benefit of performing device compliance is providing attribute-driven policies, which is option D. References:
