Google MDM (enterprise customers) does intrusive scanning on gmail users...sampling the Win10 BIOS, operating system, encryption state of the drive and other [fairly intrusive] data. 

It is not clear to me exactly how they are doing this....but is there any expertise to block this type of scan via Firewalla?

  MDM runs on the devices themselves, do you mean it is scanning your network? I am lost on the BIOS and Gmail part ... 

  Do you want to prevent it scanning network? or prevent it scan your PC/MAC? the later one is not possible since MDM is built to do things the way your employer want it

  What you can do is use network segmentation, just put that device with MDM to its own network. See https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408644783123-Building-Network-Segments
