Compliance policies

With compliance policies you can:

  • Allow, forbid or enforce certain features of a device.
  • Define actions that are executed when a compliance rule is violated.

You can create different compliance policies and assign them to device groups. This allows you to apply different levels of security to your managed devices.

Tip

If you are planning to manage both corporate and private devices, we recommend that you define separate compliance policies for at least these two device types.
