eBook: 5 Steps to Secure and Manage Mobile Devices at Scale

A practical five-step framework for IT teams to secure and manage mobile devices at scale — covering enrollment, compliance, data protection, and BYOD governance.

Mobile devices have become essential for employee productivity and data access, yet managing them at scale presents serious challenges. Hybrid work environments, multiple operating systems, and inconsistent device behaviour make it difficult to maintain visibility, enforce policies, and document compliance. Manual processes and fragmented tools quickly lead to drift, support overhead, and governance gaps.

This eBook presents a five-step framework designed to help IT teams strengthen security, reduce configuration drift, and maintain productivity across distributed workforces.

What You Will Learn

  • Achieve comprehensive visibility into mobile device security posture across different platforms
  • Automatically enforce compliance policies without manual intervention
  • Minimise configuration drift and reduce recurring support requests

Supported Platforms and Ownership Models

The framework covers iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices, accommodating three ownership structures:

  • COBO (Corporate-Owned Business-Only)
  • COPE (Corporate-Owned Personally-Enabled)
  • BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

Each ownership model receives customised policies suited to its risk profile and privacy requirements.

Zero-Touch Enrollment

Streamlined onboarding is available through:

  • Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP)
  • Android Enterprise Zero-Touch
  • Samsung Knox

Typical deployment can be completed the same day by connecting Apple or Google accounts, establishing baseline configurations, and enabling zero-touch enrollment.

Data Protection

Key data loss prevention controls include:

  • Managed app-opening controls
  • Copy/paste governance restrictions
  • Per-app VPN capabilities
  • Account-scoped profiles for data containment

BYOD Privacy

Work profiles separate corporate and personal data. Selective wipe removes only business content while preserving personal applications and information — ensuring employee privacy is respected.

Integration with Microsoft Intune

The Mobile Manager component works alongside Microsoft Intune by maintaining compliance tracking to align device status with conditional access policies, while Intune continues to handle identity and access decisions.

Incident Response

Available device actions include:

  • Remote lock
  • Selective wipe
  • Lost mode activation
  • OS update control
  • Password management

Every action is captured in a complete audit log, supporting compliance documentation and governance reporting.
