What Does VAN 9001 Mean?

VAN 9001 indicates TPM 2.0 is required but not reported as enabled. TPM provides hardware-backed security used in modern Windows trust features.

Trusted Platform Module technology may be a discrete chip or firmware (AMD fTPM, Intel PTT). Vanguard expects TPM 2.0 available and enabled.

Verify motherboard docs before enabling TPM in firmware.
