Every device that touches your business is a potential entry point. Smartphones, tablets, and laptops that move in and out of the office, connect to home networks, sit in bags on the tube, or occasionally go missing entirely represent a category of risk that’s different from anything sitting in a server room. Mobile Device Management (MDM) is how we bring those devices under the same level of control as everything else.
MDM gives us a centralised view of every device connected to your business systems, the ability to enforce security policies across all of them, and the means to act immediately when something goes wrong.
What we configure and manage
Device enrolment and inventory
Every device that accesses your business systems is enrolled and visible in one place. We know what’s connecting, who owns it, what OS version it’s running, and whether it’s compliant with your security policies. Devices that aren’t enrolled can be blocked from accessing business data entirely.
Encryption enforcement
Full-disk encryption is enforced as a policy requirement, not a suggestion. BitLocker on Windows, FileVault on Mac. A device that isn’t encrypted cannot access your business systems until it is. See our Encryption page for more detail.
Remote wipe
If a device is lost or stolen, we can wipe it immediately — before anyone else can access what’s on it. This applies to both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled for business access. For personal devices, the wipe is targeted to business data only, leaving personal content untouched.
Security policy enforcement
Screen lock requirements, minimum OS version, app installation restrictions, and passcode complexity are enforced centrally rather than trusted to individual users to configure themselves. A device that falls out of compliance is flagged automatically.
Patch and OS management
We monitor OS versions across your device estate and flag devices running outdated software. For managed devices, updates can be pushed centrally. This is one of the five technical controls assessed under Cyber Essentials, and we manage it as standard. See our Comprehensive IT Security Assessment page.
App management
For businesses that need to control which applications are installed on company devices, we can manage approved app lists and prevent installation of unapproved software.
An honest note on platform coverage
The majority of MDM capability we deploy covers Windows laptops and PCs, which represent the largest part of most of our clients’ device estates. iOS device management (iPhones and iPads) is also fully supported, covering remote wipe, encryption enforcement, and policy management.
For macOS and Android devices, MDM policy enforcement capability varies by platform and by the specific policies required. Where standard MDM tooling has gaps, we deploy complementary security tooling appropriate to those platforms, including endpoint protection and DNS filtering, which follows your team regardless of device or location.
If your business has a specific mix of devices, a free site survey will give you a clear picture of what’s covered and what, if anything, needs additional consideration for your setup.
How this connects to the rest of your security
MDM doesn’t sit in isolation. It works alongside:
- DNS Security — filtering that follows devices off the office network, blocking malicious sites whether your team is at their desk or on hotel Wi-Fi.
- Multi-factor authentication — enforced across every account regardless of which device is being used to sign in.
- Microsoft 365 Security — conditional access policies that can require a device to be compliant before granting access to business email, Teams, or SharePoint.
- Cybersecurity Awareness Training — because the most common way a mobile device becomes a security problem is a user clicking something they shouldn’t.
One monthly fee. One number to call.
The day-to-day risk of keeping every device that touches your business properly secured becomes our job, not yours.
