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 applied to the Microsoft apps only: Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive. Copy-paste, save-as, backup — all controllable per policy. The license is already in your M365 Business Premium or M365 E3.
ACTIVITIES IN DETAIL
DELIVERABLES
Verify Intune license coverage for every user with mobile access to corporate data
Inventory the BYOD landscape: iOS vs. Android share, app usage patterns, existing Outlook/Teams mobile deployment
Design app protection policies per user segment: standard users, VIPs/executives, external contractors
Configure data protection settings: copy/paste control, save-as restrictions, screenshot block (Android), managed browser enforcement
Access requirements: app PIN, biometric unlock, offline grace period, minimum OS version, jailbreak/root detection
Conditional launch actions: wipe corporate data on compromise, on max PIN attempts, on device integrity failure
Configure selective wipe: remove only corporate data from the Microsoft apps, leave personal data untouched
Pair with Conditional Access policies requiring an approved client app and app protection policy — closes the web-browser loophole
Pilot group (10–20 users) across iOS and Android, validate policy enforcement with test scenarios
Staged rollout with end-user communication: what changes in daily use, what IT does and does not see
Helpdesk runbook: selective wipe procedure, policy troubleshooting, app registration issues
