Service Deep-Dive - Endpoint

Every device in your fleet
is either managed or a liability.

Unmanaged devices are the most common gap in SME environments. We deploy Intune to give you full control over every laptop, phone, and tablet accessing your data.

What this means for you

Select your role to see how this service maps to your specific situation.

A device that is not managed is a device you cannot protect, patch, or wipe

Unmanaged devices are the gap that ransomware operators look for. If a device is not enrolled in Intune, you cannot enforce encryption, cannot verify patch status, and cannot remotely wipe it if it is lost or an employee leaves under difficult circumstances. We deploy Microsoft Intune - included in your M365 Business Premium licence - across every device in your fleet.

No visibility into which devices are patched, encrypted, or compliant
New starters receive a laptop but no standardised configuration is applied
When a staff member leaves, there is no automated process to wipe or secure their device
Personal devices accessing company email and Teams with no management controls in place

You need patch visibility and compliance enforcement without manual effort

Chasing patch status across a device fleet by hand does not scale. When you are responsible for 30, 50, or 100 devices, you need a system that enforces compliance automatically and reports the results. Intune provides a single console showing every device, its compliance status, its patch level, and its encryption state - with automated remediation when something falls out of compliance.

No central console for device compliance - patch status checked manually or not at all
Third-party applications like Chrome and Adobe are never patched, only Windows updates run
Local administrator rights are enabled on all devices with no privileged access model
Defender for Endpoint is licensed but has never been activated

Lost laptop, no remote wipe - that is the scenario endpoint management prevents

An unencrypted, unmanaged laptop left on a train or taken by a departing employee is a GDPR reportable incident. Under the regulation, you may be required to notify the Data Protection Commission and affected individuals. Intune gives you remote wipe capability, BitLocker encryption enforcement, and automated offboarding - so a lost device is an inconvenience, not a data breach.

No remote wipe capability for lost or stolen devices
Devices belonging to former employees may not have been wiped or recovered
GDPR breach notification could follow an unencrypted device loss - are all devices encrypted?
New devices take a day to set up manually when they could self-provision in under an hour

MDM coverage and device compliance are scored in most ICT procurement frameworks

Healthcare and public sector procurement frameworks require evidence of formal device management, endpoint encryption at rest, and a documented patch management process. Intune provides the compliance reporting needed to satisfy all three requirements - device enrolment status, BitLocker encryption evidence, and patch compliance rates per device group.

No MDM solution in place to evidence in tender documentation
BitLocker encryption not enforced or not documented across the device fleet
No patch management process or compliance reporting available for a submission
BYOD devices accessing company data with no documented management policy

What a first review typically finds

The gaps we find in almost every environment

These are not edge cases. They are the standard state of an SME environment without an independent review.

9/10

Defender for Endpoint never activated

Included in M365 Business Premium. Enterprise-grade endpoint threat protection sitting idle because the previous provider never deployed it.

7/10

No patch management process

Windows on automatic, no visibility into actual status. Third-party apps like Chrome and Adobe never patched at all.

8/10

Local admin rights on all devices

Every user running as local administrator - trivial malware installation and easy lateral movement after a compromise.
