Why device management matters
Endpoints are where work happens and where threats land. Laptops, phones, tablets, and IoT without consistent management create security gaps, slow users, and cause unexpected costs. Strong device management makes endpoints secure, maintainable, and predictable so your team stays productive and your risk profile improves.
Key considerations — what actually matters
- Complete visibility — know every device, OS, owner, location, warranty, and health status.
- Standardized baselines — build images and configurations that enforce security and reduce support work.
- Automated patching & compliance — keep devices up to date without interrupting users.
- Secure enrollment & lifecycle — enforce enrollment, onboarding, secure imaging, and certified wipe at end of life.
- BYOD and mobile posture — balance user flexibility with corporate controls and data protection.
- Endpoint protection & incident readiness — ensure devices have effective protection, detection, and quick containment options.
How we help — hands-on and outcomes-first
We make device management simple to run and easy to prove. That means fewer helpdesk tickets, faster onboarding, stronger security, and lower total cost of ownership.
You’ll get
- A verified device register with ownership, warranty and compliance status.
- Standardized images and hardening baselines for every device class.
- MDM enrollment, policy configuration, and profile management for laptops, mobiles, and tablets.
- Automated patching schedules with measurable compliance targets.
- Secure onboarding and remote wipe for lost or retired devices.
- Fast remote support workflows and runbooks to reduce downtime.
- Reporting on device health, patch compliance, and lifecycle costs.
Our five-step process — clear and client friendly
- Device Snapshot (5 days) — fast inventory and posture check that finds unmanaged devices, compliance gaps, and quick wins.
- Scope & align — confirm device classes, OS versions, BYOD policy, and business SLAs.
- Design & baselines — we build images, hardening rules, and enrollment workflows tailored to your environment.
- Implement & automate — enroll devices, enable MDM policies, automate patching, and set up remote support and wipe capabilities.
- Operate & optimize — run ongoing management, lifecycle planning, quarterly reviews, and continuous improvement.
Deliverables — what you walk away with
- Device Register — authoritative list of every managed and unmanaged device with owner, location and status.
- Device Snapshot Report — prioritized findings and a lifecycle roadmap.
- Baseline images & configs — hardened images and deployment checklists for all device types.
- MDM enrollment & policy pack — profiles, restrictions, compliance rules and enrollment guides.
- Patch & compliance report — measurable patch compliance targets and remediation plans.
- Onboarding & retirement workflows — secure enrollment steps, handoff checklists, and certified wipe procedures.
- Operational playbooks — runbooks for remote support, incident containment, and device recovery.
- Monthly device health dashboard — inventory, patch status, incidents, and lifecycle spend.
Timeline & what to expect
- Days 1–5 — Device Snapshot and prioritized roadmap (5-day clarity guarantee).
- Week 2 onward — enrollment, baseline deployments, and Week 1 sprint to close top priorities.
- Ongoing — automated patching, remote support, lifecycle planning, and monthly reporting.
Acceptance criteria — how success is measured
- A complete device register with no material unmanaged devices remaining.
- Baseline images and MDM policies applied to agreed device sets.
- Patch compliance at or above the agreed threshold within the first 60 days.
- Successful remote wipe and restore tests executed and documented.
- Monthly device health dashboard delivered and reviewed.
Risks and how we mitigate them
- Unmanaged or rogue devices — we run discovery scans, enforce enrollment, and quarantine unmanaged endpoints.
- Patching breaks apps — staged rollouts, maintenance windows and rollback procedures reduce production risk.
- BYOD friction — privacy-first BYOD policies and containerization balance user needs and data protection.
- Data leakage at retirement — certified wipe and disposal procedures with signed evidence protect sensitive data.
- User disruption — we schedule rollout windows, use performance-friendly patching, and provide rapid support for issues.
Three simple next steps — benefit-first
- Book a free 30-minute Clarity Consultation — we confirm scope and the immediate benefits: fewer tickets, faster onboarding, and stronger security.
- We run the 5-day Device Snapshot — you get a complete register, the highest-value fixes, and a lifecycle roadmap showing when you’ll reduce risk and cost.
- We kick off Week 1 sprint — a Delivery Lead is assigned, we enroll priority devices, apply baselines, and you start seeing lower downtime and measurable compliance.
