Use this desktop survey checklist to assess endpoint security and compliance across a sample of users. Review workstation and laptop build standards, local administrator group membership, remote access users, guest account status, and application of domain Group Policy (via rsop.msc). Confirm controls over Event Viewer, Control Panel and system clock, antivirus installation and signature updates, and any nonstandard software. Check permissions to manage AV services, boot options, presence of extra profiles, and enforcement of password-protected screensavers. Validate access to file servers and critical shared folders, USB use restrictions, and controls over browser security and proxy settings. Capture notes and sign off to support IT audits and remediation.
