BYOD Mobile Device Management

Enable productivity on employee owned devices while keeping company data safe. Codeproof BYOD MDM uses Android Enterprise work profile and iOS and iPadOS User Enrollment to separate work and personal data, enforce policy only where it is needed, and protect privacy.

Give users a simple setup and IT a single place to manage apps, network access, and compliance without taking over the whole device.

Why BYOD needs modern MDM

BYOD boosts flexibility and lowers device costs, but it also introduces risk if data is not separated from personal apps and accounts. Codeproof applies containerization and least privilege controls so companies reduce risk without intruding on personal use.

IT teams gain policy control for work apps, email, Wi-Fi, VPN, and certificates. Employees keep personal photos, messages, and apps private.

BYOD security and flexibility
BYOD enrollment options

Easy enrollment

Enroll in minutes using a QR code, email or SMS link, or a managed app. Codeproof Cyber Device Manager supports:

  • Android Enterprise work profile for a separate, managed workspace on personal Android devices.
  • User Enrollment on iOS and iPadOS with a Managed Apple ID for scoped management and a private user partition.

After enrollment, devices receive the right work apps, configurations, and security settings automatically.

Privacy and containerization

Codeproof separates work apps and data from personal content. IT manages the work container only.

  • Personal photos, messages, call logs, and personal app inventory remain private.
  • Copy and paste and file sharing can be limited between work and personal apps.
  • Work container can require its own screen lock and encryption where supported.

When access is removed, a selective wipe deletes only work data and apps. Personal data stays intact.

BYOD privacy and compliance
Managed email on BYOD

Email and work apps

Configure corporate email, calendar, and contacts in the work container. Push app level configurations like server URLs, authentication, and data loss prevention settings. Remove access with a selective wipe when users leave or devices are lost.

  • Managed app configuration on Android and Apple platforms.
  • Open in controls to limit data movement to approved apps.
  • Optional per app VPN for work apps.

Apps and licenses

Create a curated enterprise catalog so users install only approved apps. Distribute required apps silently where supported.

  • Managed Google Play for Android work profile, including private apps.
  • Apple Business Manager Apps and Books for iOS and iPadOS User Enrollment where supported.
  • Revoke and reassign licenses as roles change.

Wi-Fi and VPN profiles for BYOD

Wi-Fi, VPN, and certificates

Push secure Wi-Fi and VPN profiles to the work container. Deploy client certificates and trusted roots to enable single sign on and secure access to corporate resources without exposing personal traffic.

Selective wipe and access removal

Remove only the work profile or managed account. Corporate email, apps, Wi-Fi profiles, certificates, and cached data are erased. Personal photos, messages, and apps remain.

Apply the same action when a device is lost or stolen to cut off data exposure fast.
