A NounDesk security policy is a set of rules a device follows: screen lock strength, auto-lock time, camera and screenshot controls, whether apps can come from outside Google Play, update schedule, Wi-Fi networks and more. You start from one of five templates (Standard Business, Maximum Security, Field Worker, Kiosk or Custom), each setting is described in plain English with the Android version it needs, and a publish preview lists exactly what will change and how many devices it affects.
Five templates cover almost everyone. Pick the closest one, rename it and change what you need, because templates are starting points rather than cages.
Every control is written the way you would explain it to a new hire, covering screen lock, device features, protection, updates and the network.
Android has grown over the years and not every phone supports every control. Rather than silently doing nothing, NounDesk labels each setting with what it needs.
Policies are edited as drafts. When you publish, a preview lists every setting that changes and how many devices it affects.
Every published version is kept with who changed it and when, so a change that turned out to be too strict is a click away from being undone.
Security settings on most management tools read like a compliance manual. NounDesk writes them the way you'd explain them to a new hire: "Require a 6-digit PIN." "Block apps from outside Google Play." "Install updates overnight."
A policy doesn't stop at security settings. It also decides the apps.
Each app is required, available or blocked.
The dashboard shows whether phones actually meet the policy.
Several newer features are turned on per security policy, so each team gets the setup that suits it.
Block printing, SD cards and USB drives, screenshots and USB file transfer. Maximum Security turns them all on.
Block listed sites or allow only the ones you list, up to 1,000.
Up to 10 trusted admin Google accounts per policy.
Turn on TeamViewer, AnyDesk or Splashtop for the phones that need it.

Pick the closest one, rename it, and change what you need. Nothing is locked.
Office and service teams whose phones hold email, messaging and a scheduling app.
Clinics, security companies, anyone handling customer or patient data.
Technicians, crews and drivers who live on the phone all day.
Order screens, check-in desks, classroom tablets, scanners.
When you know exactly what you want.
NounDesk checks every company Android phone and rates it Trusted, At risk or Not trusted, with the reason in plain English and what to fix. Nothing to install.
Install and manage apps on company Android phones: mark Google Play apps required, available or blocked per policy, and spot missing or outdated apps.
Stop company data leaving work phones. Block printing, SD cards and USB drives, screenshots and USB file transfer per policy, or turn them all on at once.
The trades that lean on this feature most, each with its own scenario and recommended policy.
Technician phones that hold the schedule, the customer address and the photos that get you paid. Keep the job app and maps installed, push the shop Wi-Fi, and lock a phone the moment it is left at a customer's house.
Read more →Crew phones and rugged site tablets that move between trailers and job sites. Group devices by site, push each site's Wi-Fi, and see honestly which ones have gone quiet.
Read more →Staff phones that carry the schedule and a client's gate code into someone's home. A simple PIN rule, an app allow-list, and reassignment in seconds when the team changes.
Read more →Guard phones that go onto a client's premises. Camera and screenshot controls per post, a strong screen lock, and an audit log you can hand to procurement.
Read more →Front-desk tablets and staff phones that hold appointment details. Encryption, a real screen lock, patching on a schedule, and reports you can export for a compliance review.
Read more →Shared classroom tablets used by a hundred students and supported by a teacher. A multi-app kiosk per room, blocked app stores, and updates that run overnight.
Read more →Standard Business for most office and service teams. Field Worker if phones live in vans and on sites. Maximum Security for anything handling sensitive records. Kiosk for shared tablets. Custom when you want to start from a blank page.
The publish preview tells you. If a change is disruptive, for example a stronger PIN requirement, NounDesk asks you to acknowledge that employees will be prompted before it publishes.
Yes. Every published version is kept in history and any earlier version can be restored with one click.
No. Updates follow the schedule in the policy: automatic, a nightly window, or postponed for a period. Security patches are never delayed by NounDesk.
