Currently, the only way to fully verify the encryption status of a desktop or laptop is from the computer itself. There is a place to check on web admin page for McAfee but it can be inaccurate.
Steps to Check:
1. Click on the system tray up arrow "^" in the bottom right corner
2. Right click on the red McAfee icon
3. Hover over "Quick Settings"
4. Click on "Show Drive Encryption Status"
5. If the drive is properly encrypted the popup box should say C: - Encrypted.
