Endpoint Security & MDM
Only encrypted, current and monitored devices reach your company data, and you can prove it at any time. We set up Intune, Windows Autopilot, Defender for Endpoint and app protection for personal smartphones.
Example of device evidence from Intune: BitLocker encryption on, updates current, Defender for Endpoint active, compliance policy met. The device is checked continuously; only compliant devices reach company data.

You need to prove every device is encrypted, up to date and protected.

In 30 minutes we clarify devices, licences and the sensible starting point.
Business Premium includes Intune Plan 1, but not its configuration. Without enrolment, compliance policies and Conditional Access it protects no device. Above 300 users, E3 or E5 usually apply.
MDM manages the whole device, up to a full wipe, and suits company-owned devices. MAM protects only work apps such as Outlook and Teams; personal content stays invisible.
With the encryption report in Intune, which shows the BitLocker status of every device, together with the device inventory. A compliance policy blocks unencrypted devices.
An antivirus compares files against known patterns. Defender for Endpoint also assesses behaviour, records activity and can isolate a device.
