Mobile Workforce

Mobile security.

Protect business data, applications and access across the devices and locations your people use every day.

Bring device controls, identity, mobile policies and wider cyber protection together so your teams can work flexibly without creating unnecessary risk or losing visibility across your estate. From device setup and application control to access policies and remote actions, security can stay connected as people and working patterns change.

what is mobile security

Protect the device, the user and the access around them.

Mobile security is the combination of controls that help protect smartphones, tablets, business data, applications and user access wherever work happens.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) forms an important part of that protection, helping manage device settings, updates, approved applications, access controls and remote actions across supported devices.

the risk

Mobile working creates more risks.

Employees now connect to business systems from offices, homes, customer sites, public WiFi and mobile networks. That flexibility keeps people productive, but every device, identity, application and connection creates another point that needs protecting.

Lost devices, outdated software, weak policies or unmanaged access can quickly increase risk, particularly when users and devices are spread across multiple locations.

A stronger mobile security approach gives your organisation clearer control over who can access what, from which devices and under what conditions.

Device

Apply security settings, update requirements and remote controls across supported smartphones and tablets.

User

Use identity and access policies to help confirm who is requesting access and under what conditions.

Applications

Control access to approved business applications and manage how organisational data is used.

Connection

Manage the risks created by public WiFi, mobile networks and changing working locations.

Data

Help protect business information if a device is lost, compromised, shared or no longer required.

GOVERNANCE and CONTROL

Keep mobile access under control.

Flexible working means more devices, more locations and more ways into business systems. Without consistent controls, it becomes harder to see which devices are secure, who has access and whether policies are being followed.

Start by reviewing how users access applications and data, where those access points sit and which controls are already in place. From there, policies can be applied, monitored and adjusted as users, devices and risks change.

Mobile security is one part of the wider picture, so those controls should stay aligned with your organisation’s identity, cyber security and compliance requirements.

01

Review the risk

Review users, devices, apps, data access and working locations to identify where stronger controls may be needed.

02

Set consistent policies

Apply password, encryption, update and access policies consistently across supported users and devices.

03

Control access and apps

Manage access to business applications and restrict selected apps where needed to help protect business data.

04

Monitor compliance

See which devices are enrolled, active and compliant, helping teams spot issues earlier and take action sooner.

WHERE IT HELPS

Security that follows your people.

Mobile access no longer happens in one controlled location. Different teams may need different levels of protection depending on the devices, applications, locations and data they use. Mobile security helps keep controls consistent without making everyday work unnecessarily difficult.

Hybrid and remote teams

Keep security requirements consistent across home, offices, shared workspaces and public locations.

Field and operational teams

Protect devices used for communication, reporting, job management and operational systems.

Frequent traveller users

Reduce risk when employees connect through unfamiliar networks, airports, hotels and international locations.

Executives and high-risk users

Apply stronger oversight around users who handle sensitive information or may be more likely to be targeted.

Regulated organisations

Improve device visibility, policy consistency and audit information where governance expectations are higher.

Bring your own device policies

Apply proportionate controls to personal devices where business access is permitted, while considering user privacy and ownership.

ONE ACCOUNTABLE PARTNER

Connect mobile security to the bigger picture.

Mobile protection becomes harder when devices, MDM, support and cyber security sit with different suppliers. With dbfb, those areas can be coordinated through one relationship, giving your organisation clearer ownership across device security, user access, lifecycle management and day-to-day support while keeping mobile controls aligned with the wider technology environment.

01

Built around real working patterns

Controls reflect how users access your systems across offices, homes, customer sites and travel, helping security fit the way your teams actually work.

02

Governance built into the lifecycle

Connect security with device enrolment, user changes, refresh and secure retirement to maintain clearer ownership and more consistent control.

03

Security and compliance visibility

Use reporting to understand device status and policy application, while aligning controls with identity, Microsoft 365 and wider cyber security.

04

Industry-leading customer support

Fast, practical support, clear ownership and a focus on first-time resolution help keep customers and their end users productive and happy.
