Zero-Trust Security
Zero-Trust security across personal and company-owned devices, ensuring every access request is verified.
Modern Endpoint Management
Microsoft Intune
Laptops couriered out in 2020 and never seen since, local admin rights everywhere, and no confident answer to how many devices you actually have. Synapx uses Microsoft Intune to give you that answer and the control that follows: every device enrolled, compliant and manageable from one console, wherever it is.

Endpoint Management Without the Imaging Bench
Two symptoms bring organisations to this page. The first is the fleet that scattered during Covid and never came back under management, so nobody can say with confidence which devices exist, let alone whether they are patched. The second is the imaging bench: a table where new laptops still wait their turn to be flattened, rebuilt and hand-configured before an employee is allowed near them. Intune fixes both. This page covers device management and endpoint security done as policy: devices ship straight from the supplier to the person, configure themselves on first sign-in, and arrive at a security baseline IT defined once.
The same model runs the whole device estate: compliance policies that gate access to corporate data, application deployment without a desk visit, endpoint privilege management instead of blanket local admin rights, and clean handling of personal devices through app protection rather than intrusive enrolment.
Zero trust stops being a slide at exactly this layer. Conditional access draws on device compliance in real time, so a healthy, managed laptop gets to work and an unknown one does not, without anyone maintaining a spreadsheet of exceptions. Our security practice and this one are the same conversation.
For organisations coming from Configuration Manager, we run the co-management path at whatever pace suits: workloads shift to Intune one at a time, nothing breaks on migration day, and the end state is an estate managed entirely from the cloud, wherever the devices happen to be.

Common Use Cases
Where Microsoft Intune earns its keep
Windows Autopilot deployment
Replace manual device builds with Autopilot so new devices ship directly to users and self-configure with full policy in minutes.
Mobile and BYOD management
Protect corporate data on personal iOS and Android devices with app protection policies and conditional launch, without managing the whole device.
Mac and Linux endpoint management
Bring Macs, iPads and supported Linux devices into a unified compliance and software management story alongside Windows.
Endpoint privilege management
Remove local admin rights safely using Intune Endpoint Privilege Management to reduce risk without breaking legitimate workflows.
Co-management with Configuration Manager
Modernise in stages by co-managing existing ConfigMgr estates with Intune, shifting workloads cloud-ward as teams are ready.
Conditional Access and compliance
Integrate Intune with Entra Conditional Access so only compliant, known devices access corporate data and sensitive apps.

Provisioning Model
Autopilot zero-touch or manual imaging?
Device provisioning is one of those processes that persists unexamined because it has always worked. It still works; it just costs far more time than the alternative, at both ends of the process.
| Criteria | Autopilot + Intune | Manual imaging |
|---|---|---|
| Device journey | Supplier ships straight to the employee | Supplier ships to IT, IT ships to the employee, eventually |
| IT effort per device | None: configuration is policy, applied automatically | Hands-on time per machine, per rebuild |
| Time to productive | Under an hour from unboxing | Days, once the queuing is counted honestly |
| Consistency | Every device gets the same baseline, provably | Depends who imaged it, and in which week |
| Rebuild after an incident | Remote wipe and re-provision, wherever the device is | Return the laptop to the bench |
The migration is incremental: new devices go Autopilot first, existing ones follow at refresh, and Configuration Manager workloads shift through co-management at your pace. Within a hardware cycle the bench is gone, and nobody asks for it back.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Intune replace our existing Configuration Manager estate?
Usually yes, over time. We recommend co-management as the stepping stone – shifting workloads from ConfigMgr to Intune in a controlled sequence rather than a risky big-bang migration – and most clients retire ConfigMgr within 12–24 months.
Does Intune work for Macs, iPhones and Android devices?
Yes. Intune provides full MDM for iOS, iPadOS, Android and macOS, and app protection policies for personal devices under BYOD. We regularly deliver mixed estates with consistent compliance policy across platforms.
How long does an Intune rollout take?
A baseline design and pilot typically takes 6–10 weeks. Full rollout across a mid-sized organisation (2,000–10,000 endpoints) usually runs 3–6 months, paced by change management rather than technology.
How does Intune support Zero Trust?
Intune is the device half of Microsoft Zero Trust. We combine Intune compliance with Entra Conditional Access so access to Microsoft 365, Azure and line-of-business apps is granted only to healthy, known devices.
Can Intune remove local admin rights safely?
Yes, with Endpoint Privilege Management. We run a discovery, define elevation rules per app and role, and roll out progressively so users keep what they legitimately need while risk drops meaningfully.
Can Synapx run Intune operations for us?
Yes. Synapx-as-a-Service provides managed modern endpoint operations, including policy management, patching, app packaging, compliance reporting and end-user support tooling.

Testimonials
From the very first conversation, Synapx stood out. They didn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution; they listened, understood our workflows, and constructively challenged our assumptions. Since launch, the difference has been night and day: engagement is up, performance is dramatically better, and our teams now have a single, connected space for learning and communication. I'd recommend Synapx to any organisation looking to get more out of Microsoft technology.
