Any Device. Full Compliance.

Skip the laptop shipment. Skip the MDM enrollment. Skip the months of provisioning. With Fortified360, any personal computer becomes a compliant work device the moment a user signs in — and reverts to a personal device the moment they sign out. Their device. Your security. No compromise.

The Problem

BYOD has always been a false trade-off.

Companies want the cost savings and the speed of BYOD. Employees want their personal device to stay personal. Security teams want full control. The traditional answer to all three — MDM, containerization, and endpoint agents — satisfies none of them. The device gets surveilled, the user gets frustrated, and the data still ends up on the endpoint.

MDM kills personal privacy

Enrolling a personal device into MDM gives IT visibility into apps, location, and content the user never agreed to share. Adoption craters. Shadow IT explodes.

Containers still leak

App-containerization tools promise isolation but still write data to disk, still depend on the host OS, and still leave corporate data on the personal device.

Onboarding takes weeks

Ship a laptop, image it, enroll it, configure it, deliver it. The cost is real; the lost-productivity gap is bigger. Contractor and seasonal hires never feel it pays off.

How It Works

The device stays personal. The workspace stays corporate.

Fortified360 doesn't manage the device at all. It delivers a fully compliant workspace through the one app the device already has: a browser. When the user signs out, the workspace is gone. The personal device returns to being a personal device.

1

User opens any browser

Their personal laptop, desktop, tablet, or Chromebook. Any modern browser. No install, no agent.

2

SSO authenticates the user

Entra ID, Google, or local accounts. MFA enforced. Conditional access policies still apply.

3

A compliant workspace spins up

A hardened, ephemeral Fortified Desk pre-provisioned for the user's role. Apps, files, network — all behind your firewall.

4

Sign out. Device is theirs again.

Workspace destroyed. No data, no agent, no trace left behind. The personal device is exactly as it was before.

Capabilities

Compliance without compromise — on either side.

Zero-install access

No agent, no client, no MDM, no plugin. Any modern browser on any modern OS. Users get to work in minutes — from the device they already own.

Device privacy preserved

F360 has no visibility into the personal device, its apps, its files, or its activity outside the workspace session. The user's personal life stays personal.

Full session controls

Cut/paste, downloads, uploads, screen capture — all governed per user, per role, per session. Same controls available to managed-device users.

Full session recording

Audit-grade evidence for every BYOD session. Compliance posture identical to a managed device, with the same forensic trail and the same retention.

Identity watermarking

Every BYOD screen carries a real-time watermark with username and timestamp — deterring screenshot leaks and providing forensic attribution.

Instant offboarding

Revoke a user's F360 access and every workspace they could open vanishes — on every BYOD device, instantly. No retrieval, no remote wipe, no awkward conversations.

User Onboarding Journey

From day-one access to day-one productivity.

What used to take a laptop, a shipment, a courier, and a week of provisioning now takes a sign-in. The same journey, three different users — three workspaces, three compliance profiles, zero managed hardware.

Persona · Contractor

External developer joins for a 90-day engagement

1
Receives an SSO invite via email on their personal laptop.
2
Signs in with MFA in their browser of choice.
3
Fortified Desk loads with code, source repos, and tools pre-scoped to the engagement.
4
Engagement ends — F360 access is revoked. The workspace disappears.
No laptop shipped. No data on their device. No offboarding gap.
~10 min

Persona · New Hire

Remote new hire starts on Monday, anywhere on Earth

1
Receives F360 sign-in instructions during HR onboarding.
2
Opens a browser on a personal device or family computer.
3
Workspace pre-provisioned with role-based apps, comms, and access loads instantly.
4
Optional: a managed device can ship later — productivity isn't waiting on it.
Day-one productive. Hardware logistics decoupled from start dates.

Persona · Acquired Employee

2,000 acquired employees need access on closing day

1
Acquired employees receive F360 invites the day the deal closes.
2
They sign in from their existing devices — no IT touch required.
3
Each user gets a workspace scoped to their integration role — finance, HR, sales, IT.
4
IT integrates the underlying environments at its own pace, without holding up the business.
Clean-room access on day one. Integration risk decoupled from access.
When to Deploy

Six scenarios where BYOD pays for itself in weeks.

Contractors & consultants

Short-term engagements where shipping a laptop costs more than the engagement is worth. Grant scoped access in minutes; revoke it in one click.

M&A integration

Give acquired employees secure, compliant workspaces on closing day — while the IT-integration project unfolds at its own (much longer) pace.

Global & remote workforces

Hire from anywhere without a global IT-procurement function. Workspace provisioning happens in minutes; managed-laptop logistics catch up later if needed.

Compliance-bound BYOD

CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2 workflows where contractors and remote staff need access — with the same audit, DLP, and access controls as managed users.

Seasonal & hourly workforces

Retail, hospitality, healthcare, field operations — staff who need work-system access but where issuing managed hardware doesn't scale.

Travel & emergency access

Lost laptop. Stranded in an airport. Power outage at home. Sign in from any browser, anywhere, and resume work in the next clean session.

The Difference

Manage the device — or manage what matters.

The traditional BYOD model tries to make a personal device look like a managed one through agents and policies. Fortified360 inverts the problem: leave the device alone and deliver compliance through the workspace itself.

Traditional Approach

MDM + containers + endpoint agents

  • MDM enrollment kills personal privacy and user adoption
  • App containers still leak data to the host OS
  • Endpoint posture varies wildly across device types
  • Offboarding requires remote wipe — brittle and incomplete
  • Compliance posture often weakened for BYOD users
  • IT supports endless OS/version/device combinations

Fortified360

Workspace-delivered compliance

  • Zero device management — the personal device stays personal
  • Pixels on the endpoint — no data ever leaves the workspace
  • Identical compliance posture across every device type
  • Revoke F360 access — access dies on every device instantly
  • Same controls and audit as managed users — no exceptions
  • IT supports one platform — the workspace

Supports the controls of
