The Sophos Scan services stops running sporadically even though all permissions are set. We use MDM to deploy Sophos Endpoint to a number of Macs running macOS 12 thru 14. When Sophos is deployed, we can confirm all services are running and have the green check on both the Mac and in Sophos Central. Devices will be fine for sometime, updates and scheduled scans occur regularly. Suddenly, with out rhyme or reason, the Sophos Scan service will appear as red and 'Not Running.'
When this happens we navigate to the Security & Privacy to double check the permissions are all set. We also open the Sophos Endpoint from the menu bar and see it is red. Next we click on 'Open Sophos Endpoint... > About in the bottom right corner > Run Diagnostic Tool.' Here the only section that is red is 'Services,' and the only service not running is 'Sophos Scan.' After a few seconds, (under a minute each time), Sophos Scan turns green and start running. In Sophos Central it also turns green after a few moments.
There doesn't seem to be a cause here, or even a reason it stops running at all. Can this be investigated? We have multiple clients this happens to week in and week out. Even as I write this, it just occurred on my Mac. Screenshots below are from my Mac, but this is how it occurs on user Macs every time.
