Growing Pain: ISO27001 and the Need for Mobile Device Management

As a rapidly growing scale-up, Orbem recognized the need to streamline its IT infrastructure following its funding round in October 2023. Preparing for the ISO27001 certification was crucial. Patrick Sloan, Corporate Operations Manager, and Saquib Rahman, IT Administrator at Orbem, were tasked with this responsibility.

Both Sloan and Rahman manage Orbem's IT stack. The expanding company needed to maintain control over its IT while ensuring the flexibility to equip every employee with a laptop. Additionally, they aimed to prepare for ISO27001 certification to reduce information security risks, boost customer and partner confidence, and meet essential compliance standards. MDM for Startups: Fleet's Impact on Orbem’s IT Security

Orbem chose to implement Fleet's Mobile Device Management (MDM) for several reasons:

• Simplicity: Fleet's intuitive management system allows for easy rollout with just a click of a button, providing one MDM solution for all operating systems.
• Integration: The Fleet Cockpit integrates seamlessly with Google Workspaces, synchronizing all current and new employees to the platform. Additionally, Fleet MDM can be synchronized with Vanta, fully automating the ISO27001 audit.
• Speed: Fleet MDM can connect to the Apple Business Manager, enabling Orbem to fully enroll and deploy MDM on 90 devices within just a few days.

Paving the Way to ISO27001

Many startups face the challenge of undergoing ISO27001 certification and often wonder which tools and partners they need. Orbem successfully chose Fleet, allowing them to focus on their core business while centralizing management, applying security policies, and facilitating security monitoring for all mobile devices.
