WHAT MOBILE SECURITY COVERS

Security around every point of access

Mobile devices now provide access to Microsoft 365, cloud platforms, customer systems and sensitive business data from offices, homes, customer sites and public networks. Mobile security brings controls around the user, device, applications, connection and information being accessed. This helps organisations support flexible working without relying on every user to manage security settings themselves.

Device

Apply security settings, update requirements and remote controls across supported smartphones and tablets.

User

Use identity and access policies to help confirm who is requesting access and under what conditions.

Applications

Control access to approved business applications and manage how organisational data is used.

Connection

Consider the risks created by public WiFi, mobile networks and changing working locations.

Data

Help protect business information if a device is lost, compromised, shared or no longer required.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE

Maintain control wherever business access happens.

Flexible working increases the number of devices, locations and networks that can connect to business systems. Without consistent controls, organisations can struggle to see which devices are secure, who has access and whether policies are being followed.

dbfb reviews how users access applications and data, then helps apply practical controls across devices, identities and the wider mobile lifecycle.

Understand the risk

Users, devices, ownership models, applications, data access and working locations are reviewed to identify gaps and priorities.

Apply consistent policies

Requirements around passwords, encryption, applications, updates and access can be applied more consistently across supported devices.

Monitor compliance

Reporting can highlight unmanaged, outdated or non-compliant devices, helping authorised teams understand where action is required.

Control access

Access to supported applications can be allowed or restricted based on device compliance, user identity and conditions.

Respond remotely

Lost or compromised devices can be restricted, locked or wiped where supported, helping reduce risk without waiting for the handset to be returned.

Review as requirements change

Policies and controls can be updated as users, applications, threats and regulatory responsibilities develop.

This supports Cyber Essentials Plus-aligned working practices and wider governance, audit and compliance requirements.

Mobile security does not provide compliance on its own, so controls should remain aligned with your organisation’s policies, identity management and wider cyber security approach.

WHERE IT HELPS

Secure access across different working environments.

Mobile security is relevant wherever people use smartphones and tablets to access organisational systems or information.

Hybrid and remote teams

Support access across homes, offices and shared workspaces while maintaining consistent security requirements.

Field and operational teams

Protect devices used for communication, reporting, job management and access to operational systems.

Travelling users

Reduce risk when employees connect through unfamiliar networks, airports, hotels and international locations.

Executives and high-risk users

Apply stronger oversight around users who handle sensitive information or may be more likely to be targeted.

Regulated organisations

Improve device visibility, policy consistency and audit information where governance expectations are higher.

BYOD environments

Apply proportionate controls to personal devices where business access is permitted, while considering user privacy and ownership.

CONNECTED MOBILE SECURITY

Mobile protection should not operate in isolation.

Stronger security depends on how devices are sourced, configured, accessed, supported and retired throughout their lifecycle.

Mobile device management

Apply device policies, monitor compliance and take remote action across supported equipment.

CLEARER COMPLIANCE VISIBILITY

See device status across your estate in one view.

Reporting helps authorised teams understand managed devices, compliance status, operating system versions, policy exceptions and actions required, so issues can be identified and addressed before they become bigger problems.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

Security that fits the systems your teams already use.

Mobile security becomes more effective when it connects with identity, endpoint protection and the wider systems your people rely on every day, reducing manual tasks and creating a more joined-up view of risk.

ONE ACCOUNTABLE PARTNER

Mobile security connected to the full estate.

Mobile protection becomes harder to manage when airtime, devices, MDM, security, identity and support sit with separate suppliers. dbfb brings these areas together through one managed approach. That gives your organisation clearer ownership across device security, user access, lifecycle management and day-to-day support, rather than leaving internal teams to coordinate every part themselves.

01

Built around real working patterns

Controls reflect how users access applications and data across offices, homes, customer sites and travel.

02

Governance built into the lifecycle

Security can be connected to device enrolment, joiners, movers, leavers, refresh programmes and secure retirement.

03

Clearer compliance visibility

Reporting helps authorised teams understand device status, policy application and areas that may need attention.

04

Wider cyber alignment

Mobile controls can connect with Microsoft 365, identity, endpoint security and Cyber Essentials Plus readiness.

05

UK-based support

One support team can help with device concerns, access issues, policy changes and lost-device response, with fewer hand-offs between providers.
