Microsoft 365
Intune & Endpoint Management
Company data now sits on laptops at kitchen tables and on phones in pockets. The question is not whether that happens; it is whether you can do anything about a device once it leaves.
The problem
You cannot patch, encrypt or wipe what you cannot see
Most small businesses have no inventory of which machines hold company data, no way to confirm disk encryption is on, no assurance that updates are being installed, and no method of removing company mail from a personal phone when someone resigns. A lost laptop then becomes a question nobody can answer, which is exactly the question an insurer or a regulator asks first.
Our approach
Enrolled devices with policy applied and a remote off switch
Devices enrolled in Intune, encryption enforced and evidenced, updates managed on a schedule rather than hoped for, and company data separated from personal data on phones so it can be removed on its own. Access is then tied to compliance, so a device that drifts out of policy loses its access rather than quietly carrying on.
What you get
Included as standard
Not an upsell list. These are the things that make the difference between a service you pay for and a service that works.
- A real inventory of the devices holding company data
- BitLocker and FileVault enforced, with recovery keys escrowed
- Windows and macOS updates managed rather than deferred indefinitely
- Company data on personal phones containerised and separately removable
- Remote wipe of company data when someone leaves or a device is lost
- Device compliance required for Microsoft 365 access
- Standard configuration for new starters, applied automatically
- Evidence of all of the above for insurers and auditors
How we work
What actually happens
- 1
Inventory
Establish what exists, who has it and what is on it. This step alone usually finds surprises.
- 2
Baseline
Agree a standard: encryption, updates, screen lock, local admin rights.
- 3
Enrol
Bring devices in gradually. New machines enrol automatically from the point of purchase.
- 4
Enforce
Tie access to compliance, so drift is caught by the system rather than by an incident.

Questions
Intune questions
Do we have to buy everyone a company phone?
No. App protection policies let company mail and files live inside a managed boundary on a personal phone. You can remove the company side without touching anyone's photos, which is both the point and the thing that makes staff willing to agree to it.
Can you see our staff's personal data?
No, and it is worth being explicit about this with your team because it is the first thing they will ask. Personal apps, photos, messages and browsing are not visible to an administrator. What is managed is the company data and the device's security posture.
What happens when someone leaves?
Company data is removed from their devices and access is revoked, from one place, the same day. That is a materially better position than hoping a personal laptop is returned.
