Mobile App Protection
Protect corporate data in Outlook and Teams on personal phones. No device enrollment required. BYOD without the BYOD risk.
Your Data Is Already on a Phone You Do Not Own
Every mid-market company with mobile workers has the same reality: Outlook and Teams on personal iPhones and Androids. Corporate email, customer data, internal chat — copy-pasted into WhatsApp, saved to iCloud, backed up to a private Google account. The moment an employee leaves, that data leaves too.
This is not a failure of your IT team. The obvious answer — enroll every personal phone in MDM — fails on day one. Employees refuse. Works councils push back. Privacy regulations tighten. The result: nothing happens, and the data keeps flowing out.
Intune Mobile Application Management (MAM) solves exactly this. No device enrollment. No personal data visible to IT. Protection is applied to the apps you choose — the Microsoft 365 family (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive) plus every third-party and line-of-business app on your phones that holds corporate data. Copy-paste, save-as, backup — all controllable per policy. The license is already in your M365 Business Premium or M365 E3.
