Zero-touch enrolment
Corporate Macs enrolled through Apple Business Manager and Automated Device Enrollment - supervised, configured over the air, and ready to hand to a user out of the box. BYOD Macs self-enrol through Company Portal.
Modern Workplace
macOS Management
Macs that aren't managed don't disappear from your risk - they just disappear from your control. They still drag your Secure Score down and sit outside your compliance baseline. We enrol them in Microsoft Intune alongside your Windows devices, so it's one fleet, one set of policies, one place to prove they're patched, encrypted, and protected.

Ready to scope macOS Management for your business?
What’s included
Scope that’s actually defined.
Every inclusion below is documented, delivered, and renewable under our standard agreement. No surprise scope. No silent exclusions.
Encryption and identity
FileVault enforced with recovery keys escrowed to your tenant, Platform SSO so users sign in with their Entra credentials, and macOS LAPS for a managed local admin account.
Compliance and Conditional Access
Compliance policies for encryption, patch level, and threat status - then Conditional Access that blocks a non-compliant Mac from corporate email and data until it's fixed.
Defender for Endpoint
Microsoft Defender antivirus and EDR deployed to every Mac, reporting into the same Defender portal as the rest of your fleet.
App deployment
Microsoft 365, Edge, and your line-of-business apps pushed from Intune - so a new Mac is productive without a technician touching it.
What’s not included
The boundaries, stated up front.
Knowing where a service stops matters as much as knowing what it covers. Here’s what sits outside this engagement - so there are no awkward surprises later.
Apple hardware and licences
We enrol and manage; the Macs themselves, AppleCare, and any per-app licences are billed at cost, not hidden in the management fee.
Wiping a Mac you don't control
Automated Device Enrollment needs the device in Apple Business Manager and a clean state. Turning an existing personal Mac into a fully-managed corporate device means a wipe - we'll flag exactly what that involves first.
Third-party MDM migrations as an afterthought
Moving off Jamf or another MDM is a real project with its own scope, not something we bolt onto enrolment. We'll quote it separately and honestly.
How we deliver
A sequence you can hold us to.
Every engagement runs the same four steps. You always know which one we’re in and what comes next.
- 01
Scope
We map your current state and agree exactly what's in and out, in writing, before any work or invoice. No surprise scope, no silent exclusions.
- 02
Plan
A documented plan with milestones, owners, and success criteria you can hold us to - so you know what good looks like before we start.
- 03
Implement
We do the work with change control and your sign-off at each gate. You see progress against the plan, not a black box.
- 04
Operate
Ongoing management, published performance, and a quarterly review that keeps the work honest and the roadmap current.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most.
We're mostly Windows with a handful of Macs. Worth it?
That handful is usually the problem. Unmanaged Macs are the devices flagged non-compliant on encryption, patching, and anti-malware, and they pull your Secure Score down. Bringing even a few under management closes a blind spot that's out of proportion to their number.
Do we need Jamf, or does Intune do it?
For most SMBs already on Microsoft 365, Intune manages Macs well enough that a second MDM isn't worth the cost or the split-brain. Jamf earns its place in large, Mac-first fleets with deep Apple-specific needs. We'll tell you honestly which camp you're in.
Will this annoy our Mac users?
Done well, no. Platform SSO means they sign in with one identity, enrolment is invisible on new devices, and the policies are security baselines, not lockdown for its own sake. We tune the balance with you.
What about Conditional Access locking people out?
That's the point, but it's gradual and signposted. A non-compliant Mac gets told what to fix before it's blocked, not slammed shut. We roll it out in report-only first so nobody's surprised.
