Mobile
More than a utility. Your business, in their pocket.
Why mobile setups get harder to manage
Most organisations don’t design a mobile strategy. Mobile setups have evolved, with a mixture of personal and corporate-owned devices and access to more sensitive data than ever before. Over time, visibility and control have become difficult to maintain consistently, leading to a lack of confidence in just how secure mobile estates really are.
As mobile devices expand across the business, internal IT teams are often left managing fragmented onboarding, inconsistent policies, rising costs, and operational issues without a clear view of the wider system.
Devices, users, apps, and data usage get harder to track as your fleet grows.
Onboarding, security controls, device policies, and lifecycle management end up varying across teams and users.
Unused services, unmanaged contracts, roaming overages, and overlapping tariffs push your mobile spend up without anyone noticing.
Mobile gets treated as a cheap utility, bought outside IT. But a phone now holds as much sensitive data as a laptop, meaning those gaps turn into real risk.
How secure and manageable is your mobile setup?
Most businesses can list the devices they own. Fewer can clearly say how well those devices are secured, managed, or governed.
The Mobile Snapshot is a short, targeted assessment of your current setup. It shows you where security and management gaps sit across devices, apps, access, onboarding, and offboarding, so you can see what to prioritise.
What the assessment gives you:
- A clear view of how much visibility and control you have
- Immediate priorities (no fluff, just what matters)
- A view of where small changes could make your mobile setup more secure
What a well-managed mobile environment gives your business
A structured mobile environment gives your team three things – control, confidence, and clarity.
Control
See and manage your entire mobile setup
See and manage every device, user, and apps in one place, with the policies and controls to keep them secure.
- Centralised visibility across all your devices and users
- Security and control at device or app level, including personal phones
- Consistent, automated onboarding
- Less complexity and manual work for your IT team
- Better support for secure hybrid and AI-enabled working
Confidence
Protect what's in their pocket
Stronger mobile security, identity controls, and policy management integrated into your wider IT setup.
- Stronger mobile security and access controls
- Reduced risk from unmanaged devices
- Better alignment between mobile, identity, and security
- Protection against lost or stolen devices, unauthorised apps, and data leaking between personal and business use
Clarity
Know exactly what you're paying for
A clear view of your mobile spend - usage, roaming, contracts, and the SIMs you're paying for but not using.
- Clear visibility of usage and support trends
- Less overspend from unmanaged contracts and services
- Fewer reactive support issues
- Control over roaming "bill shock"
