Essentials MDM

Stop wrestling with your mobile fleet

Essentials MDM gives your IT team the control they deserve. Whether it's a warehouse scanner, a doctor's tablet, a salesperson's smartphone — if it touches corporate data, it needs to be managed, secured, and recoverable if something goes wrong.

SECURITY HARDENING

Strategic control, role by role

Managing a modern device fleet requires balancing different priorities. We’ve built our security features to satisfy them all: IT gets a stable environment, security teams get total visibility, and compliance officers get a complete audit log.

shield-1

Policy enforcement at scale

Continuously verify that every device meets your security baseline — OS version, passcode strength, encryption status — and automatically restrict access if it doesn't.

Built-in
lock

Remote lock & wipe — any device, any time

Lost device? Lock or factory reset in seconds. Selective wipe removes work data while preserving personal content on BYOD.

Built-in
mail shield

Conditional access: no compliance = no email

Integrate with Entra ID, Exchange, or any SAML-compatible identity provider. Non-compliant devices lose access to corporate email automatically.

Integrates with M365

Automated forced updates

Ensure every device is patched and secure by pushing OS and application updates automatically. You never have to chase down a user or manually touch a machine to stay protected.

server

On-premise: data never leaves your infrastructure

Deploy on your own servers. No cloud dependency. Required for classified environments — and certified for them across multiple EU markets.

National security clearance (EU)

Zero-trust access control

Certificate-based authentication and a mandatory VPN ensure that only verified hardware can access corporate resources. The moment a device falls out of policy, access is cut automatically.

OPERATIONS & EFFICIENCY

Less time managing devices. More time managing the business

Drivers, nurses, technicians, store staff — when their device is down, the work is down. Essentials MDM eliminates operational friction by managing every scenario, from BYOD and fully managed devices to shared kiosks and workstations, ensuring your team focuses on the business, not helpdesk tickets.

A new device, ready before the user arrives

The moment it boots, it's enrolled, configured, and policy-applied. IT doesn't need to be in the room.

Zero-touch
Frame 47738

Every device in the fleet, configured from one place

Email, VPN, apps, wallpaper — pushed silently, without asking anyone to do anything.

Essentials-MDM-Portal_Mockup_03 Średni

Know a device has gone quiet before anyone notices

Heartbeat monitoring flags devices that stop responding — you find out before the driver calls the helpdesk.

Essentials-MDM-simplified-administration_v3

Fix it without the device coming back to IT

Live screen access to any device, anywhere. Built into every licence — no separate agent, no hidden cost.

remote support mdm2

Policies that change based on where the device is

A driver crossing a border triggers roaming restrictions. A device entering a secure site automatically gets stricter security policies. A device moving above a set speed fires an alert.

A device that only does what it's supposed to

INDUSTRIES

Built for the industries that move the world

From regulated healthcare environments to high-security government fleets — Essentials MDM adapts to what your sector demands.

bank

Public sector & government

For government and defence, cloud-based data isn't an option.

Techstep holds national security certification in Spain (CCN, Spain's National Cryptiologic Centre) and meets clearance requirements aligned with Poland's ABW IInternal Security Agency) — for the environments that need it.

hospital

Healthcare & regulated care

A device containing patient records has no business being unaccounted for.

Our platform ensures constant, automated oversight of every clinical endpoint, keeping sensitive data strictly isolated and fully compliant.

truck

Logistics & transport

Drivers cross borders, enter dead zones, and hand devices between shifts.

Essentials MDM keeps the fleet visible and controlled — with geo-triggered policies, roaming controls, and remote support for non-technical staff.

hardhat

Field service & utilities

Engineers in the field need the right apps, the right access, and nothing else.

Push job-specific configurations silently, enforce VPN for secure system access, and know when a device has gone quiet before anyone calls it in.

tablet

Shared & kiosk deployments

Shared devices in shops, clinics, and retail points must work the same for every user. 

Configure once, enforce always, reset automatically between users.

briefcase

High-security corporate fleets

Finance, insurance, and legal organisations operate under scrutiny.

Every device needs to meet policy, every access event needs to be logged, and your compliance team needs to be able to prove it on demand.

 

Your data is protected by internationally recognized standards.

Comparison

Same core. Different priorities.

Every MDM works within the boundaries device manufacturers set. The core capabilities — enrolment, policy enforcement, remote wipe — are largely the same across vendors. Essentials MDM differentiates where it actually matters: in security posture, audit-ready compliance, and the speed at which your team can resolve frontline issues.

Need more details?

How does this solution meet NIS2 and regional regulatory requirements?

Techstep Essentials MDM enforces encryption, MFA, and patching to support NIS2 security and reporting requirements. It provides real-time telemetry for rapid incident detection and audit-ready reporting on device posture, patch levels, and compliance status.

Is cloud-only MDM suitable for government or regulated sectors?

Cloud-only MDM is not always suitable when data control, sovereignty, or regulatory requirements demand local or hybrid deployments. Many public sector organisations prioritise on-premise or controlled hosting models to maintain full operational oversight.

Why is this MDM solution suited for European public sector and mission-critical deployments?

Techstep Essentials MDM supports regulated environments through certified security practices, European compliance alignment, and local hosting options. Techstep also holds an Industrial Security Certificate for handling NATO SECRET information, strengthening trust in high-security deployments.

How does Essentials MDM support a Zero Trust security architecture?

Essentials MDM continuously validates device health and enforces access policies before allowing connections to corporate systems. Access is automatically restricted when devices fall out of compliance, reducing risk from compromised or outdated endpoints.

Is MDM enough to stop AI-generated malware and phishing attacks?

MDM reduces risk by controlling devices, but it works best as part of a layered security approach. Techstep Essentials MDM supports embedded Mobile Threat Defence as well as third-party tools, reducing exposure to phishing and AI-driven threats. For advanced protection, see Essentials Mobile Threat Defense.

What can IT actually see on a managed device?

IT typically sees device status, security posture, and work-related configurations, not personal content. Techstep Essentials MDM uses OS-level separation so administrators cannot access private photos, messages, or personal apps.

How does Essentials MDM protect employee privacy on BYOD devices?

Essentials MDM separates work and personal data using platform-native containerisation. This ensures IT control is limited to business data while personal information remains private and inaccessible.

How do you support the "Right to Disconnect" in Europe?

Work access can be controlled through scheduled policies that limit notifications and activity outside working hours. This helps organisations align with European labour expectations while maintaining secure device management.

Can we migrate between cloud and on-premise deployments?

Techstep Essentials MDM supports migration between dedicated cloud and on-premise environments in a controlled way. This allows organisations to adapt to changing regulatory or sovereignty requirements without full re-enrolment when using a dedicated cloud setup.

How difficult is it to migrate from an existing MDM solution?

Migration complexity depends on device types, enrolment methods, and existing policies. Most organisations adopt a phased approach using automated enrolment to minimise disruption and maintain operational continuity.

Can we purchase this solution using a CAPEX model?

Techstep offers both subscription and perpetual licensing options to support different budgeting models. This allows public sector organisations to align procurement with long-term financial planning.

How fast can I start using Essentials?

Cloud deployments can be available immediately, while on-premise environments can be set up within hours, depending on requirements. Setup time varies based on the number of integrations and configuration complexity.
