Security & Compliance
Safe, traceable, certified.
In highly dynamic IT environments, security is more than a Add-on – it is the cornerstone of every modern device management.
Apple devices bring strong security-by-design principles, which, however, need to be properly embedded and documented in a corporate context. We support you with targeted security audits, compliance concepts, and the integration of cutting-edge Apple security features – from endpoint security to zero trust.
Why Apple Security works differently
Apple pursues a unique security approach – deeply integrated into hardware and software. However, especially in enterprises, additional controls and processes are needed to meet all compliance requirements. We demonstrate how you can modernize your security architecture with Apple devices – GDPR-compliant, auditable, and scalable.
Security Audits & Compliance Services
Our security audits for macOS and iOS identify technical vulnerabilities, organizational gaps, and workflow deficiencies.
Audit process:
Standards & Benchmarks:
- Onsite analysis (1–2 days)
- Technical & organizational audit
- Final report with Findings, risk assessment & proposed solutions
- Optional: Support in the implementation of measures
- CIS Level 1 & 2
- NIST
- GxP-compliant documentation (IQ, OQ, PQ, SOP)
- GDPR Check

Zero Trust on Apple devices
With the Zero Trust approach, you no longer protect your environment based solely on perimeter, but continuously control the identity, integrity, and compliance of each individual device. Apple Security is ideally suited for this: Combined with Jamf, OSQuery, and SSO systems like Azure or Google Workspace, it creates an
dynamic, secure system.
Hardware security
Secure software requires a foundation of security built into hardware. That’s why Apple devices—with iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, or visionOS—have security capabilities designed into silicon
System security
Building on the unique capabilities of Apple hardware, system security is designed to maximize the security of the operating systems on Apple devices without compromising usability. System security encompasses the startup process, software updates, and the ongoing operation of the operating system.
Encryption and Data Protection
Apple devices have encryption features to safeguard user data and enable remote wipe in the case of device theft or loss.
App security
Apple provides layers of protection designed to ensure that apps are free of known malware and haven’t been tampered with. Other protections help ensure that access from apps to user data is carefully mediated.
Security in regulated industries
In industry, healthcare, or government agencies, special regulations apply. We know these – and implement them.

Background information on Apple Security & Compliance
Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad come with many security features as standard – such as FileVault, Gatekeeper, or Secure Boot. However, in businesses, 'Security by Default' is not sufficient.
With Device Management (MDM), auditing, compliance requirements, and integrations, Apple devices can be managed to meet today's demands in terms of data protection, traceability, and Zero Trust.
With the right setup
What does Apple Security mean in the corporate context?
Compared to Windows or Android, Apple's security approach is deeply embedded in the hardware – this is an advantage, but also a challenge for admins.
Important aspects in practice:
- Only through a powerful device management like Jamf Pro or Intune can policies be enforced and threats detected. Device Management Security:
- With tools like or , companies can actively review and document policies. Compliance Reports: Jamf Protect, Santa OSQuery
- The device status becomes part of the authentication – no access without proof of trust. Zero Trust & Platform Security: SSO, Passkeys and PKI
