Taking Control of Every Endpoint with Microsoft Intune and Defender

The client had more than 300 endpoints but no centralised device management. Laptops were configured manually, applications were installed ad hoc, and IT had limited visibility over compliance, security posture, or lost-device response.

Cloudbliss began with an endpoint assessment to understand operating systems, applications, BYOD usage, existing management tools, and security gaps. From this, an Intune architecture was designed using device categories, dynamic groups, compliance policies, and configuration profiles.

Windows Autopilot was configured to enable zero-touch provisioning for new devices. This meant users could receive a laptop, sign in with their corporate credentials, and have the device automatically enrol, install required applications, apply security configurations, and become ready for work without hands-on IT setup.

Cloudbliss packaged over 100 applications for automated Intune deployment, configured Microsoft security baselines, enforced BitLocker, antivirus, firewall, and minimum OS requirements, and integrated compliance rules with Conditional Access.

Defender for Endpoint was deployed across the estate to provide endpoint detection and response, attack surface reduction, vulnerability visibility, and automated remediation.

Results

• 300+ endpoints enrolled and secured in six weeks
• Laptop provisioning reduced from three days to under two hours
• Over 100 applications packaged for automated deployment
• Defender for Endpoint deployed across the estate
• Conditional Access policies linked to device compliance
• Security incident rates reduced by 85%
• Lost-device response improved with remote wipe capability
• Real-time compliance reporting introduced through Intune and Defender dashboards
