Mobile Device Management (MDM) for UK Businesses

AMVIA deploys MDM by first configuring your management platform — typically Microsoft Intune — with security policies, compliance rules, and app deployment profiles. Devices are then enrolled either automatically during initial setup or by users installing the management app. 43% of UK businesses experienced a cybersecurity breach or attack in the past year (DSIT 2025), and MDM is a critical layer of defence for protecting corporate data on mobile devices.

Corporate-owned devices give you full management control, including hardware standardisation and complete remote wipe capability. BYOD reduces hardware costs but requires app-level management to separate business and personal data. Many businesses adopt a hybrid approach. AMVIA configures MDM policies for both models, ensuring corporate data is protected regardless of device ownership.

MDM enforces policies including mandatory screen locks, device encryption, minimum OS versions, app installation restrictions, jailbreak and root detection, and network access controls. Non-compliant devices are automatically blocked from accessing business email, files, and applications. Microsoft 365 has over 400 million paid commercial seats globally (Microsoft FY2025), and MDM ensures every device accessing your M365 tenant meets your security requirements.

When a device is reported lost, AMVIA can remotely lock the device, display a recovery message, track its last known location, or wipe corporate data within minutes. For company-owned devices, a full factory reset can be triggered remotely. For BYOD devices, a selective wipe removes only business data and applications whilst leaving personal content intact, protecting both the organisation and the employee.

Yes. Modern MDM platforms such as Microsoft Intune manage iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices from a single console. AMVIA configures consistent security policies across all platforms, ensuring that an iPhone, Android phone, and Windows laptop all meet the same compliance standards before accessing your corporate resources. This cross-platform capability is essential for businesses with diverse device estates.
