### Step 3: Enable the FIPS security policy
Windows provides the security policy setting, “System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing,” which is used by some Microsoft products to determine whether to operate in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode. When this policy is enabled, the validated cryptographic modules in Windows will also operate in FIPS approved mode. The policy may be set using Local Security Policy, as part of Group Policy, or through a Modern Device Management (MDM) solution. For more information on the policy, see [System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/system-cryptography-use-fips-compliant-algorithms-for-encryption-hashing-and-signing).

### Step 4: Ensure only FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms are used
