You Can’t Trust What You Don’t Track: Device Governance Gaps in Microsoft 365

Identity tells you who’s accessing your systems - but device trust tells you how they’re doing it, and most environments track far too little.

What “Trusted” Devices Really Mean

In many Microsoft 365 tenants:

• Devices are “enrolled” but missing baselines

• Supervision is inconsistent

• BYOD rules are not enforced or validated

• Wipe capabilities exist - but aren’t tested

• App protection is enabled - but only for Windows, not mobile

This isn’t about bad setup - it’s about lack of tracking and governance.

Without Visibility, There’s No Control

We’ve seen:

• Lost devices still syncing OneDrive

• Devices marked “compliant” that haven’t been seen in weeks

• Patch policies that don’t align with Conditional Access logic

The risk isn’t a tool misfiring - it’s a governance void.

Telemetry Tells the Truth

Modern security requires:

• Device reporting

• Policy drift detection

• Cross-platform enforcement (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android)

But all of that only matters if you review it regularly.

The Identity & Device Health Check helps uncover where trust assumptions are hiding risk.

Let’s track what matters.

We focus on how identities and devices interact within Entra ID and Intune. It identifies gaps in Conditional Access, MFA, device compliance, and endpoint governance to support a scalable, Zero Trust-aligned security model.
