BYOD MDM Solution
Miradore fits in well with the various device policies in today’s modern workplace of full- and part-time employees and contract workers. How can you make sure everyone has the devices and apps they need to complete their work while ensuring security and privacy?
What is BYOD?
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is an IT policy of allowing employees to use their personal devices to access business data and applications at work. Smartphones are the most common example, but employees are also increasingly bringing their own tablets and laptops into the workplace.
Miradore can help your organization adopt a device policy that is a win-win for all, enabling user satisfaction, increasing productivity, managing risk, and capturing savings on device acquisition and maintenance. Organizations that allow a network of BYOD phones, tablets, and more require clear BYOD policies that balance user flexibility with strong security. An effective BYOD policy differs greatly from a traditional company-sponsored equipment policy since BYOD devices are not exclusively used for work purposes.
OEMs make BYOD device selection easier
An OEM (original equipment manufacturer) is a company that manufactures their own devices in their own factories. This process allows them to include features and apps that make BYOD implementation easier and more secure. Some of the most valuable BYOD features created by OEM’s center on software and application compatibility, security and privacy, and overall device management. Organizations can shortlist and specify to BYOD users which devices they can consider purchasing to ensure they have access to the proper enterprise apps, data, and services.
Sometimes employees want to buy a new device for both personal and professional use. Google’s Android Enterprise Recommended list can help make device selection easier for both the employee and the organization.
These preferred Android devices have containers for a personal profile that the employee completely controls, and a secure, vaulted work profile that IT can control with an enterprise mobility management (EMM) tool like Miradore, which is an approved EMM provider.
Miradore Simplifies BYOD Management
Manage risks
Malware exposure, data leaks, and stolen or lost devices are the risks of BYOD, especially since the employee is using the device a lot more frequently due to personal use. Ensure privacy by separating business data from personal data with MDM. Make sure your business contacts and other data doesn’t leak through to a user’s personal apps, and enforce a separate passcode for unlocking the business profile.
Satisfy users and increase productivity
Employees tend to show stronger productivity when they use devices familiar to them, and they also enjoy a personalized experience that increases their satisfaction, according to technology review site Tom’s Hardware.
With MDM you can ensure that your employees have all of the necessary applications, access to company data, and WiFi. With the automation features, employees don’t need to visit the IT department to update software or reset a passcode.
Capture Savings
Reduce equipment costs by having employees use a smartphone that they’ve already purchased. You will then only need to manage that employee’s single smartphone, as opposed to two or more, reducing IT’s time in managing additional hardware. A BYOD policy also removes the additional procedure of having to wipe, reconfigure, and reassign devices to new employees.
Lifecycle of a BYOD Solution
From planning stages to ongoing management, each step of the BYOD lifecycle is critical for ensuring devices stay compliant, secure, and do not pose a barrier to user productivity.
- Planning & Policy Development: IT teams create and deploy data security policies, taking into consideration regulations such as HIPPA or GPDR, as well as devices supported by the BYOD policy.
- Device Enrollment: IT teams oversee user device enrollment, registering employee BYODs and ensuring data security policies are applied solely to company resources accessed on the device, maintaining user privacy.
- Configuration & Deployment: Apps, email, and security settings are applied through a mobile device management (MDM) solution, with role-based access controls separating company and personal data.
- Device Usage & Management: IT teams continuously monitor BYODs post-deployment, enforcing compliance, pushing updates, and applying data loss prevention (DLP) policies to protect sensitive company data.
- Security & Risk Management: Security teams implement ongoing threat detection, location-based policies, and user education to reduce risk and maintain compliance across all enrolled BYODs.
- Device Retirement & Offboarding: When a device is lost or an employee leaves the organization, MDM tools enable secure offboarding by remotely wiping company data, revoking access, and restoring user privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three levels of BYOD?
The three levels of BYOD are:
- Level 1: Basic access which allows employees to only access their email and calendar apps via their BYOD.
- Level 2: Controlled access gives permission to a limited amount of company data and apps, but employees can only access data that they owned or that has been assigned to them
- Level 3: Full access allows unrestricted access and permissions to all company data.
How do you enroll a BYOD device?
BYOD devices can be enrolled with the easy-to-use Miradore dashboard. Create a BYOD profile and invite users via email to enroll their personal device. The personal profile for each BYOD allows IT admins to select which apps, browser shortcuts, and restrictions they want to activate on each device.
What are BYOD, CYOD, and COPE?
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a policy that allows an organization’s employees to utilize their personal device for a limited range of work apps and company data. CYOD (Choose Your Own Device) and COPE (Company Owned, Personally Enabled) policies leverage company-sponsored devices. In these instances, devices are primarily used for work-related purposes and offer limited access to apps such as phone calls and voicemail for personal use as needed. CYOD and COPE devices use containerization tools to maintain secure separation between company and personal data.
