A real USA client lost an iPad with unencrypted client data and shipped it to the wrong location. USD 2.5M of contractual penalties followed when the data could not be proven destroyed. Intune wipe-on-loss with conditional access and FileVault baseline would have closed that gap in 90 seconds, with auditor-ready evidence on the way out.
Remote device wipe within 90 seconds of theft report
Location services and last-known-location reporting
Conditional access blocks lost device from re-enrolling
Encryption baseline (BitLocker, FileVault) enforced before enrolment completes
Intune is the device side of Zero Trust. Configure, deploy, secure, and audit your endpoint estate without ever touching individual devices manually.
Autopilot enrollment
Devices arrive from the OEM, the user signs in, the device configures itself. No re-imaging, no IT touch, no shipping. Tested with Dell, HP, Lenovo, Surface, Mac out of the box.
Configuration profiles
OS settings, security baselines, network configuration, certificates. Deployed by group, audited continuously, drift-corrected automatically.
Application deployment
Win32, MSI, MSIX, App Store apps, custom packages. Deployed by user or device, with assignment policies, dependency handling, and patch automation.
Compliance policies
Define what compliant looks like (encryption, patch level, password policy, jailbreak detection) and enforce via conditional access. Non-compliant devices lose access automatically.
BYOD and MAM
Mobile Application Management for personal devices, container-based separation of corporate data, selective wipe of corporate apps without touching personal data.
Reporting and audit
Device-inventory reporting, compliance dashboards, audit logs of every configuration change. Audit-ready evidence for ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOX reviews.
Comprehensive device management
Three feature pillars across the device lifecycle.
Intune is a platform, not a single product. We deploy each pillar in a way that scales beyond the first 100 devices: MDM with policy templates, MAM for BYOD, Autopilot for zero-touch, plus the analytics and security layer most clients forget exists.
Device Management Capabilities
Full MDM across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, plus MAM for BYOD scenarios where you do not want to enrol the whole device. Autopilot and Apple Business Manager wired into the OEM relationship so devices arrive ready.
MDM enrollment, security policies, remote wipe
MAM app-protection policies for BYOD
Windows Autopilot zero-touch deployment
Apple Business Manager DEP integration
Certificate, OS-update, and configuration management
Endpoint Analytics
Real-time fleet health: device performance scoring, user-experience analytics, app reliability, and network connectivity. Proactive remediation closes common issues automatically before users open a ticket.
Device performance and startup-time scoring
User-experience score per device and group
App reliability and crash analytics
Network connectivity and Wi-Fi health
Proactive remediation scripts (auto-fix common issues)
Advanced Security
Conditional access, endpoint protection, information protection, and Zero Trust enforcement, all configured against device compliance signals. Non-compliant devices lose access automatically; compliant devices roam freely.
Conditional access tied to device compliance
Defender for Endpoint integration and onboarding
BitLocker, FileVault, and disk-encryption enforcement
Information protection and DLP across endpoints
Zero Trust device-trust verification
Every endpoint, every platform
Supported platforms across the modern fleet.
Intune is a multi-OS platform, not a Windows-only one. We deploy and tune across the OS mix USA clients actually run, including the wearables, kiosks, and tablets the rest of the market forgets about.
Windows
macOS
iOS
iPadOS
Android
wearOS
ChromeOS
Why GR IT for Intune
Four reasons clients pick us for the deployment.
Intune deployments succeed or fail on configuration discipline. Out-of-the-box Intune is a starter kit; tuning is the work.
90+ Intune tenants
Pattern recognition matters. We have deployed Intune across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android. Common configuration traps, common compliance gaps.
Multi-OS expertise
Many vendors are Windows-only. We deploy and tune across Mac, iOS, Android, ChromeOS. Mac fleets are first-class, not an afterthought.
Hardware partnerships
Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Apple Autopilot/ABM relationships. Devices ship pre-registered with your tenant, ready for zero-touch enrollment.
Audit-ready evidence
ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOX reviews answered with Intune compliance reports, configuration history, and audit logs. Compliance-ready by default.
Implementation methodology

Real-world scenarios
How we solve your device management challenges.
Every USA business hits the same set of device-management problems. These are four we have solved this year, with the policy mix that fixed each one.
Real estate, Manhattan
Challenge
Employees were using personal apps on company phones, and sensitive client emails were being copied to personal accounts. The leakage was hard to detect and impossible to prove.
What we did
We deployed MAM app-protection policies that protect only corporate data. Employees keep their personal apps, but work emails cannot be copied or forwarded to personal accounts, and corporate data is selectively wipeable.
Outcome
100% data-leakage prevention with no drop in employee satisfaction
Zero leak events in 12 months
Construction group, Los Angeles
Challenge
New-employee onboarding took three days because IT had to manually configure every laptop with apps, VPN, and security settings. The HR and IT teams were drowning in setup tickets.
What we did
Windows Autopilot deployment. New hires unbox the laptop, enter their corporate credentials, and Office, VPN, line-of-business apps, and security policies install automatically without IT touching the device.
Outcome
New-employee setup reduced from 3 days to 30 minutes, IT freed for higher-value work
3 days → 30 min
Insurance brokerage, Wall Street
Challenge
A sales-team iPad containing client records was stolen from a car at an airport parking lot during a business trip. The brokerage faced potential SOX reporting and reputational damage if the data leaked.
What we did
Remote wipe was triggered within 2 minutes of the theft report. The device was completely erased before the thief booted it. Conditional access then blocked the device from re-enrolling without IT approval.
Outcome
Zero data breach despite physical theft, SOX notification not required
Wiped < 2 min
Healthcare clinic, New Jersey
Challenge
Employees were installing random apps from the App Store and Play Store. One contained malware that nearly compromised the patient-record system, triggering a HIPAA-mandated incident review.
What we did
App whitelisting and a managed app catalog. Employees can only install pre-approved business apps; personal apps are blocked on managed devices; BYOD uses MAM-only policies for personal-app freedom with corporate-data protection.
Outcome
99.9% reduction in security incidents from malicious apps
99.9% incident drop
Intune vs traditional MDM

How a deployment runs
From fleet audit to managed device operations.
Every Intune engagement runs the same path. Documented, evidenced, deliverable on a fixed timeline.
1
Fleet audit
1-2 weeks
Inventory of devices, OS mix, current management posture, OEM relationships. Output: fleet report and deployment plan.
2
Pilot
2-3 weeks
Configuration profiles built, pilot group enrolled, baseline tested. Issues triaged before fleet rollout.
3
Rollout
4-8 weeks
Phased fleet enrollment by group. Help-desk preparation, communication to end users, on-the-ground support during cutover.
“We had 350 laptops on three different management platforms (legacy SCCM, JAMF, manual). GR IT consolidated everything to Intune in eight weeks: Autopilot for the Windows fleet, ABM-DEP for the Macs, BYOD with MAM for personal phones. Onboarding a new staff member used to take a half-day; now it is one click and the user signs in.”
Tariq Bin Salem
IT Operations Director · Mid-market professional services group
350 devices consolidated, onboarding 4hrs to 1 click
