Since you seem to be using this to mean "is the platform locked down?",
this looks to be no longer complete in the UEFI 2.6 world.  If
DeployedMode == 0, even if SecureBoot == 1 and SetupMode == 0, you can
remove the platform key by writing 1 to AuditMode and gain control of
the secure variables.  The lock down state becomes DeployedMode == 1,
SecureBoot == 1 and SetupMode == 0

See the diagram on page 1817
