Real Results

Data protected for UK businesses.

Stolen Laptop Response

A Blackburn logistics company had a laptop containing client data stolen from a vehicle. They had no MDM in place and could not confirm whether the data had been accessed or removed.

Following the incident, Intune deployed across all 45 devices. Next theft resulted in remote wipe within 8 minutes. ICO notification avoided. Insurance claim supported with audit evidence.

Leaver Data Protection

A Preston professional services firm had a senior employee leave unexpectedly. They had no way to confirm whether company data had been removed from the employee's personal device.

Selective wipe deployed via Intune within 30 minutes of the employee's departure. Corporate apps and data removed. Personal data untouched. Full audit trail retained.

Lost Phone at Conference

A Manchester consultancy had a director lose their phone at an industry conference. The phone contained access to company email, Teams, and SharePoint with sensitive client data.

Remote lock initiated within 10 minutes of the loss being reported. Selective wipe completed within 20 minutes. Corporate data removed before the phone was found by a third party.
