Why This Matters
What's Included
Everything you get with this managed service.
Device Compliance Policies
Intune's compliance policies define the minimum security standard that a device must meet to be permitted access to company resources. Common compliance requirements include: - Operating system minimum version: Devices running outdated, unpatched operating systems fail compliance and can be blocked
Configuration Profiles
Configuration profiles push security settings to managed devices automatically, without requiring user action. Examples include: - Enforcing BitLocker full-disk encryption on Windows devices - Configuring Windows Update settings to ensure timely patch installation
Application Deployment and Management
Intune can deploy applications to managed devices silently — without requiring the user to visit an app store or interact with an installer. This ensures all managed devices have approved security tools (such as Microsoft Defender for Business) installed. Application protection policies within Intun
Remote Wipe and Device Retirement
If a company device is lost or stolen, Intune enables a remote wipe — resetting the device to factory settings and removing all company data. For personal devices managed via MAM, a selective wipe removes only company data and Microsoft 365 app content, leaving personal data untouched. Remote wipe i

Frequently Asked Questions
Microsoft Intune is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Microsoft 365 E3/E5. It is not included in Microsoft 365 Business Basic or Business Standard. Standalone Intune licences are available but Business Premium is usually more cost-effective as it also includes Entra ID P1, Defender for Business, and other security tools.
Yes. Intune's Mobile Application Management (MAM) mode applies security policies only to Microsoft 365 apps on a personal device — not to the device itself or personal apps. Administrators cannot see personal photos, messages, or app data. Only company data within managed apps is governed by Intune policy.
With MAM-managed personal devices, Intune can perform a selective wipe — removing company data and Microsoft 365 app data — without affecting personal data. A full remote wipe (factory reset) is only possible on devices enrolled in full MDM management, which is typically reserved for company-owned devices.
Intune compliance policies report the compliance state of each device to Microsoft Entra ID. Conditional Access policies can then require that accessing devices are Intune-enrolled and compliant before granting access to Microsoft 365 applications. This means a device with an outdated OS or missing encryption is automatically blocked from accessing company email and files until the issue is resolved.
For a business of 50 users with a straightforward device estate, AMVIA can deploy and configure Intune within five to ten business days, including compliance policies, configuration profiles, and Conditional Access integration. Autopilot configuration for new device procurement requires additional setup but is included in our standard deployment.
