Standard build and basic compliance for company devices

Company machines that are consistent, encrypted and easier to manage.

This pack gives you a clear standard for laptops and desktops. Build, encryption, security tools and simple rules so devices are not all different and risky in their own way.

✓ One standard build instead of every machine being its own project.
✓ Encryption and basic controls that support client and regulatory expectations.
✓ Simple device rules staff can understand without a policy manual the size of a phone book.

Often paired with Cyber Security Care and Microsoft 365 Management so the endpoint standard lines up with how people sign in and how mail and files are handled.

Why this matters

• In many breaches, weak laptops and desktops are the easiest way in.
• Regulators and larger clients often ask how devices are managed and encrypted.
• A standard build reduces support time and random troubleshooting.

This is not heavy compliance. It is a practical baseline that moves you away from every machine being a one off.

What is included in the Endpoint Standards and Compliance Pack.

The outcome is a defined standard. From there, each new machine or refresh follows the same pattern.

How the Endpoint Standards and Compliance Pack works.

This is usually a short project with a clear start and end, and optional ongoing support after.

Current state and goals

We look at how devices are handled today and what clients, regulators or insurers expect of you.

Standard build design

We design and document the standard, then review it with you and adjust based on practicality.

Rollout and handover

We help you plan the change over, then hand over notes so this becomes part of normal IT work.
