Policy with an enforcement point behind it
Established device management on Microsoft Intune and authored the MDM and Group Policy standards behind it, so endpoint compliance is enforced and evidenced rather than assumed.

Device posture in most growing companies is a mix of manual builds, tribal knowledge and a spreadsheet that was accurate on the day someone last updated it. Simple questions, like which machines are missing a patch, take a morning to answer.
That is an operational annoyance right up until it becomes a certification requirement and a commercial blocker, at which point it becomes urgent.
Built the practice on Microsoft Intune, with the configuration standards written down as policy rather than living in someone's head. MDM, Intune configuration and Group Policy documented together so the intent and the enforcement match.
The design principle was that a policy without a technical enforcement point is a suggestion. Compliance state needed to gate access to company resources, not just show a red indicator on a dashboard nobody opens.
This work fed directly into the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control set, which is the efficient way to do it. One piece of engineering satisfying an operational need and an audit requirement at the same time.
Endpoint configuration is consistent by default and provable on request, rather than reconstructed under audit pressure.
The evidence it produces shortens enterprise security reviews instead of stalling them.
