MDM
Absolutely. Primo integrates with Windows Autopilot to streamline device provisioning in 40+ countries. Just define your setup templates—Primo handles the configuration and shipping so your team can focus on what matters.
MDM is designed to give IT teams full visibility and control over their device fleet. With Primo MDM, you can:
- Enforce company policies like passcode requirements, disk encryption, and app blacklisting.
- Configure device settings, install software, and roll out updates remotely.
- Locate, lock, or wipe a device if it’s lost or stolen.
- Automate onboarding and offboarding workflows so devices are set up (or cleaned) in just a few clicks.
- Ensure compliance with internal standards and external regulations like ISO 27001 or GDPR.
Yes. Primo fully supports zero-touch deployment via Apple Business Manager. Devices can be pre-configured and shipped directly to employees—when they turn them on, they’re automatically enrolled into your MDM with the right apps, settings, and restrictions applied.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) allows employees to use personal devices for work. Primo supports BYOD scenarios by applying lightweight security and compliance rules without taking full control of the device. That means employees keep their privacy, while IT ensures business data stays protected.
When choosing an MDM, here are the main factors to consider:- Cross-platform support: Make sure your MDM works with all the devices you manage—macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS.- Security capabilities: Look for features like remote wipe, FileVault/BitLocker enforcement, admin rights control, and app whitelisting.- Growth readiness: Your MDM should scale easily with your company, whether you're onboarding 5 devices or 500.- Integrations: Choose a solution that connects with your existing stack—HR systems, SSO providers, endpoint protection, and procurement workflows. Primo, for example, bridges device management with HR data to automate setup and permissions.- Ease of use: A clean interface and clear workflows save your IT team hours every week. Look for tools with a central dashboard and actionable insights.- Transparent pricing: Understand whether pricing is per device, per user, or feature-based. Primo offers flat monthly pricing with no surprise fees.
Mobile device management (MDM) is software that allows IT teams to centrally manage and secure laptops, smartphones, and tablets across an organization. With MDM, companies can enforce security rules, push apps and updates, monitor devices in real time, and remotely lock or wipe lost or stolen equipment. It’s a key tool for protecting company data and ensuring compliance across your entire device fleet.
IAM
It’s a security principle where users only get the access they absolutely need—nothing more. It limits risk and keeps sensitive data safer.
Zero Trust means no one is trusted by default—even inside your network. Every access request must be verified, and only the minimum access is granted.
Look for:
- Integration with your tools (Google, Microsoft, Slack, etc.)
- Automated provisioning based on HR data
- MFA support
- Clear access logs for compliance
- Easy user experience for admins and employees
Without IAM, access gets messy—people keep permissions they shouldn’t, and offboarding is risky. IAM keeps your systems clean, secure, and compliant.
IAM software helps control who can access which apps and data in your company. It automates account creation, permissions, and offboarding to keep access secure and aligned with each user’s role.
