The Management Console lists Mac policies in these technology groups:

Policies that you set depend on the encryption requirements of your enterprise.
This table lists the policy options.
Mac Encryption > Dell Volume Encryption
For High Sierra and higher, both of these policies must be enabled. For Sierra and earlier, see previous versions of the
documentation.
Dell Volume Encryption On or Off
This is the "master policy" for all other Dell Volume Encryption policies. This policy
must be set to On for any other Dell Volume Encryption policies to be applied.
On enables encryption and initiates encryption for unencrypted volumes, per the
Volumes Targeted for Encryption or Encrypt Using FileVault for Mac policy. The
default setting is On.
Off disables encryption and initiates a decryption sweep for any fully or partially
encrypted volumes.
Encrypt Using FileVault for Mac If you plan to use FileVault encryption, be sure to first set Dell Volume Encryption to
On.
Ensure that the Encrypt Using FileVault for Mac policy is selected in the Management
Console.
