Mobile device management built for the way Boston works
From the Financial District to Kendall Square, Boston businesses run on mobile. Employees answer email on personal phones, present from tablets, and take laptops home every night. Every one of those devices is a doorway into your network — and without central management, it's a doorway you can't see or control.
IT Support RI has been a locally owned managed IT and cybersecurity provider since 2002. We set up mobile device management and BYOD policies that keep your team productive on any device while keeping company data locked down, encrypted, and recoverable.

As enterprise networks have grown in size and complexity, the rise of smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices for business has widened the cyberattack surface significantly. Cost-cutting BYOD programs add convenience — but also raise the risk of exposure and device incompatibility. These are the gaps we see most often in unmanaged Boston environments:
-
Lost and stolen devicesPhones and laptops walk off constantly — and each one may hold sensitive client and company data with no way to lock or wipe it remotely.
-
Unmanaged BYOD devicesPersonal phones on your network mix company data with unpatched apps and unknown Wi-Fi, expanding your exposure with every new device.
-
Inconsistent updatesWhen patching depends on employees remembering to tap "update," devices drift out of compliance and stay vulnerable for weeks.
-
Slow, manual onboardingSetting up each new hire's device by hand eats hours your team doesn't have — and often leaves configurations inconsistent.
-
No visibility as you scaleOne person can only track so many devices. Growth quietly outpaces manual administration until nobody knows what's connected.
Why Boston businesses choose IT Support RI
A quick look at how our team keeps devices secure, employees productive, and IT budgets predictable.
A local partner, not a faceless vendor
IT Support RI is owned and run by Paul and Nick, who built the company in 2002 on a simple idea: businesses deserve responsive, US-based IT support from people they can actually reach. That philosophy still guides every device we secure for Boston-area teams today.
When you call about a lost phone or a device that won't check in, you reach our team — technicians who know your environment, not a ticket queue halfway around the world.

Mobile device management, explained simply
Mobile device management (MDM) is a central system for enrolling, configuring, securing, and monitoring every mobile device your business uses. Instead of touching each phone or tablet by hand, your IT team sets policies once and applies them across the whole fleet — automatically.
The payoff is real: system administrators get back the hours they used to spend on standard configurations and updates, new hires get working devices in minutes, and updates get pushed remotely instead of waiting on manual action. As your Boston team grows, MDM handles the standard work so a larger environment never means a bigger headache.
Unmanaged vs. managed devices
Real engineers behind every managed device
Setting up MDM well takes more than flipping a switch. Our senior technicians build the security policies, enrollment profiles, and monitoring that keep your fleet protected — and they refine them as your Boston business changes.
We've been doing this since 2002 across manufacturing, professional services, healthcare, non-profits, and more. That depth means we know how to move you from manual, device-by-device administration to a managed model that simply works.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank IT Support RI... Yesterday's 8-hour NIST Assessment audit was a good example of their professionalism, expertise, tireless efforts, and focus on what's best for the customer. The auditor has mentioned how impressed he is with my team, how knowledgeable they are regarding the new cybersecurity protocols and government flow-down requirements, and how far ahead we are of our competition."

Mobile device management FAQs
Answers to what Boston businesses ask us most about MDM and BYOD.
Mobile device management is a central system for enrolling, configuring, securing, and monitoring the phones, tablets, and laptops your business uses. Instead of managing each device by hand, your IT team sets policies once and applies them across the whole fleet automatically — including updates, encryption, and remote lock or wipe.
Yes. We help Boston businesses set up BYOD policies that separate company data from personal data using managed containers. Your company information stays protected and can be wiped if needed, while your employees keep their personal apps and privacy intact.
With managed devices, we can remotely lock the device or securely wipe company data so it never falls into the wrong hands. Because data is encrypted and recoverable, a lost phone becomes a manageable event rather than a potential data breach.
We manage smartphones, tablets, and laptops across iOS, Android, and Windows, whether they're company-owned, employee-owned, or a mix. We build consistent, secure configurations so every device meets the same standard.
Yes. IT Support RI serves businesses across Greater Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts area, along with Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut. We've been a locally owned, US-based provider since 2002, and our technicians are never outsourced.
