A user asked about FIPS compliance with ControlUp, and the response was that ControlUp is likely closer to FIPS compliant but not certified. This is due to the way the registry key in Windows works, requiring only certified modules. ControlUp's security can be seen on https://www.controlup.com/controlling-your-security/, with different components in the process of certifying for FIPS 140-2.

Why does ‘client NIC speed’ in Demote DX fluctuate in FSLogix support in ControlUp 8.8?
