Modern workplace
Modern workplace: the machine arrives ready and access leaves with the person
The workstation is where users meet IT every day — and where the attacker meets the company. Inove standardises that estate with cloud identity, automated delivery and policy versioned as code, so that “compliant” carries technical meaning instead of being a ticked box.
What the workplace covers
It is the device pillar of Zero Trust. Without it, everything else rests on clicks nobody audits.
Cloud identity
Moving off the legacy domain to Entra ID, with everything that depends on a local server mapped beforehand — not afterwards.
Automated delivery
A new machine switched on at the user’s home and ready on its own. No manual image, no technician with a USB stick.
Policy as code
Configuration exported, reviewed and versioned in git. You can see what changed, who changed it and roll it back.
Security baseline
Disk encryption, active protection and a minimum version — verified by the system, not declared in a spreadsheet.
Applications and updates
A catalogue, silent installation and updates in rings, from the pilot to the whole estate.
Access lifecycle
Joiners receive it, movers have it changed, leavers lose it. Same day, with no forgotten ticket.
The rings that prevent surprises
No policy goes straight to the estate. Each ring is a chance to find out cheaply what would break expensively.
- 01
Pilot
A handful of workstations, chosen by usage profile — not the easiest ones.
- 02
IT
The team itself, which knows how to roll back and describes the problem precisely.
- 03
Department
One entire department, with the applications only it uses.
- 04
Estate
Every workstation, with the behaviour already known and the rollback plan tested.
What the estate gains
Fewer machine tickets
Identical configuration on every workstation removes the ticket category that consumes most of the service desk.
Onboarding that does not stall
A new joiner is productive on day one, without waiting for someone to prepare the equipment by hand.
Verifiable compliance
The policy is a reviewable file and the state of each machine is a report — not a promise.
Foundation for Zero Trust
Conditional access only makes sense when the device has a trusted, measured state.
