Review the encryption requirements

Encryption is a required data safeguard for school-issued devices.

Ensure compliance in three steps:

1. See if your device is already encrypted.

2. If necessary, encrypt your device using Bitlocker or FileVault.

You may also visit IT Connect to have experts encrypt your device at no charge.
BitLocker and FileVault are recommended for personal computers and are built into most Windows and Mac operating systems.
Note: Bitlocker is not available for Windows 7 or 10 Home Editions.
Visit https://uclahs.fyi/onthehub to upgrade to a Windows version that has Bitlocker.

3. Install OnGuard to access the UCLAHealthSecure wireless network.
