Securing devices for leading organizations like

What is XFA?

XFA is the device security solution that identifies every device used by people in your organization, informs users about risks, and verifies compliance with your security policy at login, without needing to manage or control the device. It runs standalone: no identity provider migration, no manual device enrollment.

What is Microsoft Intune?

Microsoft Intune is an MDM/MAM solution that gives IT central control over company devices: IT uses it to push applications, updates and compliance checks onto each enrolled device.

What is Conditional Access?
Conditional Access is a Microsoft Entra ID add-on that checks every sign-in against rules set by IT. Combined with Intune, it can block devices that are not managed by Intune from reaching company data.

What our customers say

"I think it's a good balance between being lightweight, non-intrusive, and transparent. Transparent in the sense of what you are looking at. The only way for me to get adoption was actually giving people access to the dashboard and showing what I'm looking at. Other solutions we tested didn't make it that transparent."
