Create Custom Compliance Rules for Windows and Linux devices with SureMDM

Managing device compliance within an organization can be a complex task– here’s why! 

Usually, other than default device compliance policies, your organization may have unique device compliance requirements. But here’s the thing, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions typically offer a limited set of 4-5 predefined settings for compliance assessments– network, location, and data settings for example.

If an IT admin requires a compliance rule that is not available in the existing set, they face a setback. They find themselves in a constant waiting game, dependent on the vendor to introduce new compliance settings. This dependency and delay creates a bottleneck for IT teams trying to stay on top of device compliance, potentially risking security lapses and exposing organizations to threats and vulnerabilities.

This is where Custom Compliance for Windows and Linux comes in.

Introducing SureMDM Custom Compliance

By default, SureMDM has device compliance policies such as– configuring OS versions, online device connectivity, device storage policy, Windows update policy, and much more. 

However, for organizations seeking enhanced flexibility and greater control in their compliance evaluations, 42Gears has introduced Custom Compliance for Windows and Linux devices, empowering IT admins to create their own compliance assessments. More power to you!

IT admins can leverage PowerShell scripts to retrieve virtually any value accessible through PowerShell on a device and then assess it for compliance. This hands-on approach empowers organizations to tailor compliance evaluations according to their specific needs.

Additionally, they can set out-of-compliance actions such as remotely wiping, locking/blocking the device, sending notifications, and more using SureMDM. They can also execute a remediation script in response to the script's output to solve the problem. For instance, free up device storage if the compliance evaluation shows available device storage is less than 10%.

These actions enable precise measures for addressing deviations from compliance rules, ensuring prompt responses to potential issues.
