Manage Sophos container apps

To separate private from work data on managed devices, Sophos Mobile provides the Sophos container apps Sophos Secure Email and Sophos Secure Workspace.

Restriction

This feature requires a Mobile Advanced license.

To manage the Sophos container apps, you must install them via Sophos Mobile. If users already have an unmanaged version of Sophos Secure Workspace installed on their devices, they must uninstall it first and install the managed version.

You can manage the apps with Sophos Mobile as follows:

Configure app settings in Sophos Mobile.

See Configurations for Sophos container policies for Android and Configurations for Sophos container policies for iOS.
Use compliance policies to ensure that the Sophos container apps are installed.
Distribute documents securely via the Work documents storage provider.

See Add work documents.
Use corporate keyring synchronization between Sophos Secure Workspace and SafeGuard Enterprise.

Corporate keyring synchronization makes the keys from a user’s SafeGuard keyring available in the Sophos Secure Workspace keyring.

See Enable corporate keyring synchronization.
