Automating Security Policies with Miradore EMM

Introduction

Device security is a critical concern for modern organizations. As more employees access business resources remotely, the margin for error increases—especially when relying on manual security enforcement. Even one misconfigured device can open the door to costly vulnerabilities.
 

Miradore EMM Premium+ changes the game by automating security policies across your device fleet. Whether you're managing a few dozen endpoints or thousands, Miradore ensures devices stay compliant with minimal manual intervention. In this blog, we’ll break down how policy automation works in Miradore, what policies can be enforced, and how to respond swiftly when things go wrong.

Key Takeaways

• Automatically enforce encryption, passcodes, VPN, and other policies
• Apply rules by OS, ownership type, or compliance status using dynamic groups
• Trigger alerts or remote actions when non-compliance is detected
• Monitor and audit compliance with detailed dashboards and reports
• Reduce IT burden while improving endpoint security at scale

Why Manual Security Management Doesn’t Scale

Configuring and monitoring endpoint security manually becomes unmanageable fast—especially across multiple platforms and device ownership models. IT teams face challenges like:

• Manually checking encryption and passcode status
• Ensuring VPN usage across BYOD and corporate devices
• Catching users who disable key security settings
• Documenting compliance for internal or external audits

With Miradore EMM, you define your security policies once and apply them automatically to matching devices through dynamic groups. This ensures consistent enforcement and frees your team from tedious, error-prone work.

How Security Policy Automation Works in Miradore

1. Create Custom or Pre-Built Security Policies

Miradore provides pre-configured templates or lets you create tailored security policies to meet your specific requirements. These policies can include:

• Enforcing full-disk encryption
• Mandating screen locks and complex passcodes
• Enabling or requiring VPN usage
• Restricting features like Bluetooth or the camera
• Locking down outdated or jailbroken devices

2. Assign Policies Using Dynamic Device Groups

Instead of assigning security policies one-by-one, Miradore supports dynamic grouping. Devices are grouped automatically based on attributes like:

• OS version (e.g., Android 13+, iOS 16+)
• Ownership status (BYOD vs corporate-owned)
• Device tags (e.g., "Finance", "Sales")
• Compliance health or geographical region

Once grouped, each device automatically receives the associated policy. This makes it easy to manage security at scale and adapt to organizational changes.

3. Real-Time Monitoring and Automated Responses

Miradore continuously monitors devices for compliance. If a device violates a policy—like turning off encryption or bypassing a VPN—the platform can automatically:

• Send a real-time alert to admins
• Move the device to a non-compliant group for isolation
• Lock the device or remove access to business apps
• Require re-enrollment or a password reset

These automated reactions reduce time-to-response and help maintain compliance without daily manual oversight.

Common Policies You Can Automate in Miradore
 

These policies are modular and adaptable, allowing you to enforce enterprise-grade security across departments and user roles.

Real-World Example: Scaling Compliance in a Financial Firm

A growing financial firm allowed both BYOD and corporate devices across their remote workforce. Managing encryption, VPN usage, and app restrictions manually had become unsustainable. They implemented Miradore to:

• Assign policy profiles dynamically to devices based on ownership and location
• Automatically enforce encryption and strong password policies
• Trigger alerts for jailbreak detection and VPN non-compliance
• Remediate non-compliant devices via remote lock and selective wipe

The result: higher compliance rates, fewer data risks, and more time for IT to focus on proactive security planning.

Next Steps

Automating device security isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Miradore EMM Premium+ provides scalable, policy-driven security that adapts to your organization’s needs. You’ll save time, reduce manual effort, and ensure every device stays audit-ready.

FAQs: 

1. Can I apply different policies for BYOD and corporate devices?

Yes. Miradore supports conditional policy assignments based on device ownership, OS, tags, or custom attributes. BYOD can have lighter controls applied only to work profiles.
 

2. What happens if a device violates a policy?

Miradore can automatically trigger alerts, lock devices, or remove access to corporate resources. You can also isolate the device or move it to a remediation group.
 

3. Can I disable features like camera or Bluetooth?

Yes. You can enforce restrictions per group or policy profile. For example, field agents may have camera access disabled to comply with privacy rules.
 

4. Does Miradore support encryption enforcement on all platforms?

Yes. You can enforce full-disk encryption on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS devices—automatically monitored and enforced.
 

5. How do compliance reports help with audits?

Miradore generates real-time and historical compliance reports, including device status, policy enforcement logs, and security incidents. These can be exported to support ISO, GDPR, or local regulations like NESA or SAMA.
