Take Control of Your Devices
Unmanaged devices are accessing your company data right now. Intune and Autopilot change that -giving you visibility, security, and control without the complexity.
Does This Sound Familiar?
"We've got a mix of everything -some stuff in SharePoint, some in Dropbox, a few people still use personal Gmail. I think most laptops have antivirus but I'm not certain. Oh, and we've just bought three new laptops for the team starting next month."
- Conversation we have weekly
Data scattered across platforms. New devices set up manually. No idea what's being saved where. This is the reality for most SMBs -and it's a security incident waiting to happen.
The Unmanaged Device Problem
What Changes When You Enroll Devices
Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Intune and Autopilot -enterprise device management made simple for SMBs.
Without Device Enrollment
- Manual Setup Every Time
Each new laptop requires hours of manual configuration -and something always gets missed
- No Visibility
You don't know which devices are encrypted, have antivirus, or are even accessing your data
- Files Trapped on Devices
Staff save to Desktop or Documents locally -when the device fails, the files are gone
- Stolen Laptop = Data Breach
No remote wipe capability. You just have to hope encryption was enabled (it probably wasn't)
- Shadow IT Everywhere
Company data ends up in Dropbox, Google Drive, USB sticks -wherever users find convenient
With Device Enrollment (Intune)
- Zero-Touch Setup
User signs in, device configures itself. Apps install, policies apply, security enforced -automatically
- Complete Visibility
Dashboard shows every device, its compliance status, encryption state, and last check-in time
- Files Protected Automatically
Known Folder Move redirects Desktop/Documents to OneDrive -files sync to the cloud without user action
- Remote Wipe Ready
Laptop stolen? Wipe it remotely in minutes. Data protected even if device is lost
- Shadow IT Blocked
Conditional Access ensures only compliant, enrolled devices can access company data
The Business Premium Advantage
These features work together to give you control without complexity.
Windows Autopilot
Zero-touch deployment
New laptop? Ship it directly to the employee. When they sign in with their work account, the device automatically:
- Joins your organisation
- Applies security policies
- Installs required apps
- Enables BitLocker encryption
- Configures OneDrive backup
No IT visit required. No manual setup checklist.
Conditional Access
Smart security policies
Define rules for who can access what, from where, on which devices. For example:
- Block access from unmanaged devices
- Block logins from high-risk countries
- Require MFA for sensitive apps
- Only allow compliant devices
- Block risky sign-ins automatically
Even stolen passwords won't get attackers in.
Intune Policies
Standardised configuration
Push consistent settings to every device without touching them individually:
- WiFi passwords deployed silently
- BitLocker encryption enforced
- OneDrive Known Folder Move enabled
- Windows Defender configured
- Windows Updates managed
Every device meets your security baseline.
Defender for Business
Enterprise-grade protection
Not just antivirus -a complete endpoint protection platform:
- Next-gen anti-malware
- Attack surface reduction
- Ransomware protection
- Web content filtering
- Centralised dashboard
Replaces Sophos, ESET, and similar -included in the license.
Real-World Scenarios
These situations happen in SMBs every day. The difference between crisis and non-event is device enrollment.

The Upgrade Path
Moving to Business Premium and enrolling devices is straightforward. Here's what to expect.
License Upgrade
We upgrade your Microsoft 365 licenses from Standard to Premium. Takes effect immediately.
Configure Intune
We deploy our tested security templates -policies for encryption, updates, OneDrive, and more.
Enroll Devices
Existing devices enroll during a scheduled rollout. New devices auto-enroll via Autopilot.
Protected & Visible
You now have a dashboard showing every device, its compliance status, and the power to act.
Typical Timeline
For most SMBs (10-50 users), the complete process takes 1-2 weeks from license upgrade to all devices enrolled. Users experience minimal disruption -most of the work happens silently in the background.
