Mobile and device management

Enrollment, configuration and lifecycle management for supported mobile and desktop devices, within the selected platform and license scope.

Features and benefits

FeaturePractical benefit
Enrollment and inventoryAssociates managed devices with an owner and the service scope.
Configuration and application policiesDistributes approved settings and supported applications to intended device groups.
Compliance and remote actionsHelps identify policy failures and supports authorized lock, retire or wipe actions where available.

Evidence to retain

  • Enrollment inventory, ownership and last check-in
  • Effective policy, application and compliance results
  • Authorized remote-action records and exception remediation

The operating check

Reconcile device coverage, verify an assigned policy on a test device and confirm the response to a controlled compliance failure.

Evaluation and lifecycle review

Mobile and device management Evaluation and lifecycle review

Selection and fit. Compare viable options against the business need, security requirements, existing systems and full operating cost. Record the reasons for the selection, the tradeoffs accepted and the conditions that would prompt a different choice.

Keeping the choice current. Follow supplier notices between scheduled reviews and reassess before renewal or a material change. Check ownership changes, renamed or retired products, subscription and licensing terms, pricing, capabilities and support commitments. Record the effect on security, data handling, integrations and service continuity. Assign an owner to approve adjustments or plan a transition, including data export and removal of access.

  • Measured service outcome and practical acceptance results
  • Supported scope, access, evidence availability and dependencies
  • Licensing or provider terms, maintenance effort and lifecycle cost
