Every laptop on client work, checked first.
Before anyone opens a client’s files, XFA checks their laptop, whether the studio owns it or a freelancer does. One app on the laptop reports to the agency and to each client that uses XFA.
Free to start for your whole team: 4 device checks at every sign-in, and people are guided to fix issues themselves, automatically or by hand.
Sound familiar?
Four of the seven people on this project are freelancers, on laptops they bought.
A client asked how we secure laptops. All we had was a vague paragraph.
A project wrapped in March. Nobody is sure the access did.
One XFA app reports to every company you work for.
Agency people work in their clients’ tools, behind each client’s sign-in. If a client also uses XFA, the person does not install a second app.
Most device tools tie a laptop to one company. With XFA, the laptop of a person who works for several companies reports to each of them.
- The XFA app goes on the laptop once.
- Each company checks the laptop against its own rules.
- Signing in to a company’s work app shares the laptop’s status with it. An email invite works too.

Checked before the client’s board opens.
Freelancers change with every project. You set the rules once, and the check sits on the sign-in, so it reaches whoever is on this week’s project.
Their privacy stays theirs.
XFA checks security settings and nothing else. Nothing on the laptop changes unless its owner says yes.

Questions agencies ask first
Compare plans
Our freelancers bring their own laptops. Is that a problem?
No. XFA checks the laptop at sign-in, whoever owns it, and does not take control of it. When the project ends, you remove their account in your identity provider and their access ends with it.
Personal and contractor laptopsSomeone works for us and for two of our clients. Do they need XFA three times?
No. They install the XFA app once. It reports to your agency and to each client that uses XFA. To add a company, the easiest way is to sign in to one of its work apps. The sign-in page does the rest. An email invite works too.
What do we tell a client who asks how our laptops are secured?
Tell them every laptop on their work is checked against your rules at each sign-in, the studio’s and the freelancers’ alike. Your dashboard lists each device and what still needs fixing, so you can show them.
What about a freelancer who never set it up?
XFA checks again at every sign-in and asks them to set up the XFA app. If you block, their device gets no access until it is compliant. XFA also sends invites and reminders by email, Slack, or Teams. None of it lands on your desk.
How XFA worksThe studio’s Macs are already in an MDM. What does XFA add?
Every laptop gets the same check at sign-in, in the MDM or not. So the freelancers’ laptops have to meet the same rules as the studio’s Macs.
Devices outside your MDMEvery project starts with a sign-in.
Invite the next project’s freelancers before kickoff. XFA checks their laptops from their first sign-in.
