Managed Device Management (Microsoft Intune) | 4iT
Every laptop and phone that touches your business data is a way in. Mobile device management (MDM) is how you enrol, secure, and support those devices from one place. 4iT uses Microsoft Intune to set the rules once, then apply them to every device, so a lost laptop is a minor event, not a crisis, and a new starter is ready to work on day one.

What is device management, and why does it matter?
Without device management, every machine is configured by hand and trusted on faith. With it, you set a standard once and know every device meets it. For an SME, that means consistent security, faster setup, and far less time spent chasing individual laptops. It works alongside the broader managed IT support we provide.
What Microsoft Intune does
Intune lets us push security policies, deploy the apps your team needs, keep Windows and updates current, and confirm a device is compliant before it is allowed near company data. It works across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, so a mixed fleet is not a problem. Device compliance sits alongside our endpoint security work as one part of a properly protected fleet.
BYOD and remote wipe
Staff will use their own phones for email and Teams. Intune lets us protect the business data on a personal device without taking over the whole phone, and if that phone is lost or the person leaves, we remove the company data and leave their personal content alone.
Onboarding and offboarding made clean
Device management is where onboarding and offboarding stop being manual. A new laptop can arrive at a staff member’s home and set itself up with the right apps and settings out of the box. When someone leaves, access and data come off the device cleanly, in step with our IT onboarding and offboarding process.
