Manage hundreds of devices from a single console — UEM and MDM for businesses
UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) and MDM (Mobile Device Management) are solution categories that allow central management of all endpoint devices in the organisation — laptops, smartphones, tablets, workstations, and in UEM variants also printers, IoT devices and industrial terminals. From a single console an administrator deploys security policies, distributes applications, enforces disk encryption, locks stolen devices, separates work data from personal data in BYOD scenarios and maintains an asset inventory compliant with ISO 27001 and NIS2 requirements.
For a business this delivers three concrete benefits: fewer incidents from lost or unencrypted devices, shorter new-employee onboarding time (zero-touch provisioning reduces onboarding from days to hours), and full visibility into fleet compliance — from OS version and encryption status to the list of installed applications. Virtline designs, deploys and maintains UEM/MDM environments based on Microsoft Intune, JAMF, VMware Workspace ONE and BlackBerry UEM — selecting the platform to match scale, BYOD policy and the existing identity stack (Azure AD, Google Workspace, on-prem AD).
What does UEM/MDM deployment include?
The scope is tailored to fleet size and regulatory requirements, but a typical deployment project covers:
Central management console — a single control point for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, integrated with Azure AD or Google Workspace.
Security policies — enforcing disk encryption, screen lock, strong passwords, camera restrictions and file transfer controls.
Zero-touch provisioning — automatic device configuration on first power-on, without any IT intervention required.
BYOD support — a work container separating corporate data from personal data, with the ability to selectively wipe corporate data only.
Asset inventory — automated inventory compliant with ISO 27001 A.5.9 and NIS2 Art. 21, compliance reports on demand.
Remote lock and wipe — immediate response to a lost or stolen device (remote lock, remote wipe).
Benefits of UEM/MDM deployment
Fewer incidents — enforced encryption and remote wipe reduce the risk of data leakage from lost devices.
Faster onboarding — a new employee receives a ready, fully configured device with applications and policies in an hour, not a day.
Regulatory compliance — ready-made reports for ISO 27001 A.8.1, NIS2 Art. 21 and DORA Art. 9 (ICT asset management).
Secure BYOD — the employee uses their own device; the company manages only the work container with corporate data.
Patch management — automatic distribution of OS and application updates to the entire fleet.
Lower support costs — remote diagnostics and remediation eliminate the majority of helpdesk visits.
Fleet visibility — complete inventory: OS versions, encryption status, application list, last contact with console.
UEM/MDM platforms we deploy
We select the platform to match scale, BYOD policy, identity stack and sector requirements. We work with market-leading solutions and integrate them with existing directory and security infrastructure.
1. Microsoft Intune — native integration with Microsoft 365, Azure AD and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The best choice for Microsoft-ecosystem organisations; supports Windows Autopilot for zero-touch provisioning.
2. JAMF Pro — the industry standard for Apple fleets (macOS, iOS, iPadOS). Integration with Apple Business Manager, Apple School Manager, Self Service for users, advanced scripts and compliance reporting.
3. VMware Workspace ONE — multiplatform console (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, Linux). Strong integration with Workspace ONE Access (SSO), Workspace ONE Intelligence (analytics) and Horizon (VDI).
4. BlackBerry UEM and BlackBerry Dynamics — for high regulatory requirements (public sector, finance, defence). Dynamics application containers, FIPS 140-2, cryptographic-level separation of work and personal data.
5. Google Workspace + Android Enterprise — native management of Android and ChromeOS devices via the Google Admin console, work profiles, zero-touch enrolment via Android Enterprise.
Who needs UEM/MDM deployment?
UEM/MDM is not an add-on feature only for the largest organisations — it is a requirement for any organisation that wants to document compliance with NIS2, ISO 27001 or DORA, while controlling a growing fleet of mobile devices. From our practice, UEM/MDM is particularly necessary for companies that:
- have a fleet of over 30 mobile devices or laptops
- allow the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) model and need data separation
- are subject to NIS2 (essential or important entities)
- are implementing or maintaining ISO 27001 and must maintain an asset register
- operate in the financial sector under DORA — ICT asset management requirement
- have remote or hybrid employees working from various locations
- employ field staff (salespeople, service engineers, drivers)
- use sector-specific applications requiring management (POS, telematics, mobile ERP)
- want to reduce new employee onboarding from days to hours
UEM/MDM is also the foundation of a Zero Trust strategy — every device must have a documented compliance status before it can access corporate resources. Without a central management console, this policy cannot be realistically enforced.
Frequently asked questions about UEM and MDM
How much does UEM/MDM deployment cost?
Cost depends on the number of devices, the chosen platform and the scope of work. A typical project includes per-device/per-user licences (from a few to tens of currency units per month) and a one-time deployment fee (console configuration, policies, AD integration, zero-touch provisioning, training). After infrastructure analysis we prepare a precise quote broken down into CAPEX and OPEX. Contact us for a quote for your fleet.
How long does deployment take?
For a fleet of up to 100 devices a typical deployment takes 4–6 weeks: 1 week of analysis and design, 2 weeks of console and policy configuration, 1–2 weeks of piloting with a selected group, then phased rollout weeks. For larger organisations the project spans 2–4 months, usually split into user groups with policy enrichment after the pilot.
How does UEM/MDM handle the BYOD model?
In BYOD mode the platform creates a work container on the personal device (work profile on Android, User Enrolment on iOS, Windows Information Protection on Windows). The company manages only the container — the employee’s personal data, photos and apps remain untouched. When an employee leaves or a device is lost, the company performs a selective wipe — only corporate data is erased.
Does UEM/MDM integrate with Active Directory and Azure AD?
Yes. All platforms we deploy (Intune, JAMF, Workspace ONE, BlackBerry UEM) integrate with on-prem Active Directory, Azure AD/Entra ID, Google Workspace and typical SAML/OIDC providers. Integration includes user and group synchronisation, single sign-on to applications and conditional access (device compliance-based access control).
How does UEM/MDM help with NIS2 and ISO 27001 compliance?
UEM/MDM directly addresses ISO 27001:2022 requirements — A.5.9 (asset inventory), A.8.1 (user endpoint devices), A.8.5 (authentication), A.8.32 (change management) — and NIS2 Art. 21 on asset management and cybersecurity hygiene. For the financial sector it also covers DORA Art. 9 (ICT asset management). The console generates audit-ready compliance reports.
What is the incident response SLA for a lost or stolen device?
Standard SLA under Virtline UEM/MDM maintenance is response to a critical incident (reported theft, suspected data leak) within 30 minutes during business hours and 2 hours in 24/7 mode (extended contract). Actions include remote lock, forced log-out from corporate applications, remote wipe if required, and a report to the incident owner (aligned with NIS2 Art. 23 reporting obligations).
