What is zero-touch MDM?
Zero-touch is a provisioning model where devices are pre-assigned in a vendor portal so that on first boot they automatically enroll into MDM and receive apps, policies, and settings—no manual steps by IT or users.
- Android: Android Enterprise Zero-Touch (and Samsung KME) for company-owned devices.
- Apple: Automated Device Enrollment via Apple Business Manager (ABM/DEP) with supervision.
- Windows: Autopilot assigns deployment profiles that enroll and configure PCs.

Benefits
- Speed: First-day productivity—devices arrive work-ready.
- Security: Device factory-reset protection, enforce encryption, passcodes, app allowlists/denylists, and updates at enrollment.
- Consistency: Standardized profiles across locations and teams.
- Lower IT effort: No imaging, fewer tickets, remote-first friendly.
- Lifecycle control: Re-enroll after reset; lock/wipe when lost or offboarding.
- Compliance: Evidence for HIPAA, CJIS/LEADS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more.
