What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?

1. What is Mobile Device
Management (MDM)?
• • MDM software centrally manages phones
and tablets used for work.
• • Enforces security policies like passwords,
encryption, and approved apps.
• • Allows IT to monitor, update, and protect
devices—even outside the office.

2. Why MDM Matters for Data
Governance
• • Reduces risk of data breaches from lost or
non-compliant devices.
• • Enables remote lock or wipe to protect
sensitive data.
• • Supports regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR,
HIPAA) by auditing device use and enforcing
policy.
• • Builds trust by ensuring only authorized
users and devices access company data.
