Why businesses choose TinyMDM for Android BYOD management?
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies save company hardware costs, but they open massive security liabilities if unmanaged. TinyMDM acts as an official Android EMM partner to build a secure container on your employees’ personal smartphones.
How the Android Enterprise Work Profile works?
Unmanaged personal devices represent a massive security blind spot. As an official Android Enterprise partner, TinyMDM solves this by deploying a secure Android Work Profile for effortless BYOD management.
- Remote Wipe Capabilities: Isolate your corporate data in dedicated storage. If a device is compromised, IT can wipe the business container instantly without touching personal container.
- Instant Isolation: Business apps are in a secure container, locked behind an independent password, and marked with a clear briefcase icon.
- Malware Prevention: Employees cannot inadvertently share data or download unapproved, malicious applications into the professional part.
Data encryption
As an official Android EMM partner, TinyMDM seamlessly integrates Android Enterprise (AFW) and thus the Android encryption protocol FBE. The FBE encryption method encrypts storage areas with unique, user-dependent recovery keys randomly generated by the AES 256-Bit encryption algorithm. The keys are also protected by a component similar to the Trusted Execution Environment, as in the FDE implementation. The policy is enforced via a DPC application installed in the work profile and controlled by TinyMDM. The separation of personal and business profile data is based on the multi-user logic of Android.
Employee privacy and the right to disconnect
The Android Work Profile draws a definitive line between business data and personal privacy. While IT admins securely manage corporate applications, they have absolutely no access to the user’s personal side.
- Total Control: If an employee leaves the company, they can remove the work profile from their device settings in seconds.
- One-Click Pause: Employees can turn off the professional container instantly, fully respecting the right to disconnect outside of business hours.
- Guaranteed Privacy: Personal apps, browsing history, and private data remain entirely invisible to the company.
