Compliance

When managing company owned devices, it becomes imperative to make sure that the device adheres to compliance standards such as the device integrity, security and compatibility. 

To mitigate such risks Scalefusion uses Google Play Protect API to check the device compliance. 

Google Play Protect examines software and hardware information on the device where the Work Apps are being used. This attestation helps Scalefusion to determine whether or not the particular device has been tampered with or otherwise modified. 

Using Scalefusion's Device Profile for kiosk devices you can enforce stricter device compliance rules and the actions that need to be taken in the event of violation.

Setting

Description

Validate using Google Play Protect

The Google Play Protect API helps assess the security and compatibility of the Android devices that your users are using. You can choose between a Strict or a Moderate level for validations.

Devices should be EMM Managed

Allow use of Rooted Devices

Rooted devices are the devices which have super users. You can allow or disallow the use of rooted devices while creating a device profile and then enrolling it.

Compliance Check Duration

You can select how often the compliance check should be performed. By default it happens every 24 hrs

Compliance Violation Action

Choose the action that should be performed if any of the compliance rules are violated:

  • No Action: No restrictions will be applied
  • Disable Device Usage: Use this option to disable the device usage but keep its data if a violation is detected later.

Access Conditions

There might be some applications that distract users while driving. Scalefusion has provision to control the access to applications based on device speed. With Speed Based Access configurations under Access Conditions, admin can block such applications once users have reached a specified speed limit thus making driving a seamless experience.

Please refer to the document for Speed based Locking of apps to know how it can be done.

Exchange Settings

Use this setting to configure an Exchange account on the device. You can select a previously created exchange configuration. Please refer to our Exchange configuration document for details.

Note: The GMail client is configured with the given configuration. Currently GMail app does not allow the exchange configuration to be unpublished. So if you want to un-publish at a later point, you would have to publish a dummy/invalid account to the devices.

Dev Tools

Developer API

In the Developer API section of Device profile an MDM SDK is provided that can be used in your enterprise apps to get the device information and perform a wide variety of actions (like launching wifi screen, toggle mobile data, toggle hotspot etc.) locally on device. Visit here for more details.
