I have just tested my T460p and the output is showing that my T460p isn't Boot Guard ready and can flash other firmware although in the list it shows it does have boot guard:

Bad news, you have a `QM170 Chipset LPC/eSPI Controller` so you have ME hardware on board and you can't control or disable it, continuing...
