Overview

If your device TrustScore falls below your organization’s configured TrustScore threshold, Banyan blocks access from your device to Banyan-protected apps and services until the TrustScore factors are mitigated and your TrustScore returns above the threshold. 

After you change the device feature(s), the updates are automatically sent from the BanyanApp (once every hour). To manually send current device features to Banyan, you can:

• In the Banyan Desktop App, click the settings cog and then click Send Device Features.
  
• In the Banyan MobileApp or Desktop App, quit and then restart the app.

Desktop App

The Banyan Desktop App includes remediation instructions and links to OS-specific support articles each TrustScore factor, other than Preferred Apps. Generally, if a TrustScore Factor is not compliant, you can click into it, review the instructions, and (optionally) click the support URL for more information. 

The example below shows a macOS device having a disabled Firewall. After clicking The Firewall is disabled, the Desktop App displays helpful information regarding regarding why it is considered a factor, its current status, and a link to an Apple support article explaining how to enable the firewall.
