What is Microsoft Device Compliance?
Kandji's Microsoft Device Compliance (MSDC) integration combines Kandji's device management and compliance features with Microsoft's conditional access capabilities. Built through Microsoft's device compliance partner program, this integration simplifies the setup and configuration process between Kandji and Microsoft and streamlines the deployment of required applications through the Kandji Library. Once configured and devices are registered with Microsoft, Kandji's device inventory and compliance data can be used in Microsoft Conditional Access policies. This ensures that only managed and compliant devices can access corporate resources. Kandji's MSDC integration supports macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices.
