- Security/Compliance: Separate compliance evaluation from enforcement, because the policy itself does not block anyone even though a noncompliant laptop may lose work access.
- Leadership/Business: Treat device noncompliance as a potential work access risk and ensure the operational impact is understood before policies affect users.
