QQ about policy enforcement mechanism

Question

Hi Heroes, 
 New to Sophos and I'm currently testing Sophos central with Endpoint Protection and Drive Encryption products. 
 I saw I can set new policies but can anyone let me know how the new policy will be enforced? Is there has a time interval? and can I force policy updating for the managed clients? and additionally, where to find which policy is applied to the client? is there has a registry value or xml config files stored this information? 
 
 Thanks in advance.

Hi gaol 
 The policy is enforced automatically on the endpoint once it contacts the Sophos Central servers, as long as it is enforced in the policy settings. You can see the time when the communication happens on the endpoint by opening up Sophos Central Endpoint > Click About > Open Endpoint Self Help Tool > Management Communication (Here you will see the last time the endpoint contacted Sophos Central). An endpoint usually communicates every couple of minutes. You can see all the policies applied on the endpoint on Sophos Central > Computers > Select desired computer > Policies.
