What can mobile device management monitor?

MDM can monitor a comprehensive range of device attributes and activities to help businesses maintain security and compliance:

Device health:

• Operating system version and update status
• Storage capacity and usage
• Battery health
• Encryption status

Security compliance:

• Whether a PIN/biometric lock is enabled
• If the device has been jailbroken or rooted
• Installed security certificates
• VPN connection status

App management:

• Installed applications (business apps only on BYOD devices)
• App versions and update status
• Blacklisted or unauthorised app detection

Usage and connectivity:

• Data usage patterns
• Network connections (Wi-Fi, cellular, VPN)
• Device location (company-owned devices only, with consent)

Importantly, MDM does not monitor personal activities, messages, photos, or browsing history. Learn about MDM and privacy.
