Account Preferences
You can enable Enterprise Management for Sophos Central Enterprise.
Sophos Central Enterprise enables distributed security management. It gives administrators the ability to manage the security of an organization divided into multiple sub-estates. For example an organization that has several sites can manage the security for each site as a separate sub-estate.
Click your Profile icon, and then click Account preferences.
Warning
Once you have turned on this feature, it can only be turned off from Sophos Central Enterprise by an Enterprise Super Admin.
When you enable Enterprise Management from a Sophos Central account any other accounts associated with your customer account are linked to your Sophos Central Enterprise account as sub-estates.
Sub-estates can't be managed in Sophos Central Enterprise until the sub-estate's Sophos Central administrator allows the Enterprise Admin to access the sub-estate's account. You must have the Super Admin role to do this. You cannot turn off Enterprise Admin access once you have opted in.
To allow access:
- Check in Account preferences that Enterprise Management has been enabled and that you can see the Enterprise Admin's details.
- Switch on Enterprise Admin access.
Privacy
You can control which data is sent to Sophos to improve protection.
The data types are as follows:
- Send Threat Graph data to Sophos
- Send Intercept X data to Sophos
- Send data from released quarantined emails to SophosLabs
-
Send logs and related files to Sophos when the device is unhealthy
Note
Logs may contain personal data. See Sophos Group Privacy Notice.
Intelix Service Region
Select the region you want your endpoints and servers to submit files to when you ask SophosLabs for the latest threat intelligence.
Evaluation modes
Warning
Use these settings only in a standalone test network.
Monitor mode
You must join the New Endpoint Protection Features Early Access Program to use Monitor mode.
You must be a Super Admin to use this feature.
In this mode, we detect threats but don't block them.
Warning
This mode turns off protection for all your computers and servers. This applies regardless of your policy settings.
If you want a detection-only product that can run alongside third-party protection, join the XDR Detection Sensor Early Access Program instead.
Aggressive threat detection
In this mode, we do extra-intensive monitoring and classification of application behavior.
Warning
This mode slows down your computers and servers. It also generates many more detections and automatically created investigations.
Email system failure protection
You can control how your emails are processed in the rare event of an interruption of service.
Selectively scan
With this setting in your account, emails are delivered without delay, by selectively performing essential scans during the rare event of an unexpected service interruption.
In Message History, you can check whether an email was selectively scanned, by viewing its message details.
Enforce scan
With this setting in your account, emails are spooled until the system recovers from an interruption of service. All scans are applied, even if the emails are delayed.

You can select the types of Sophos Support you want to receive.
Click your Profile icon, and then click Support settings.

You can grant access for 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or 60 days. The default period is 7 days.
You can then see the expiration date and time.
Note

Partner Assistance
Partner Assistance allows your designated partner to access your Sophos Central portal and configure the Sophos Central service on your behalf. This option is turned off by default.
