From 5 to 15 people, RBAC and MDM become necessary
At five people you know everyone's rights by heart. At fifteen you no longer do. RBAC and MDM are not a luxury then, they save time and prevent access leaks.
Try this first
- 1List which roles exist and which applications belong to each role, that is the foundation of RBAC, not 'everyone has access to everything'.
- 2Pick an MDM matching your OS mix, Intune for Windows and Microsoft 365, Jamf for lots of Macs, a cross-platform tool if mixed.
- 3Write the policy before you implement, screen lock after a few minutes, encryption required, untrusted apps not allowed.
- 4Roll out MDM first on new devices, then on volunteers in the team, only then on everyone, that cuts complaints.
- 5Tie access to roles and not to persons, then a role change is one click instead of a manual inventory.
- 6Plan a quarterly review where someone checks the role split still matches the real work split.
When to bring us in
RBAC and MDM rollouts are risky to do alone without experience. Vectel can guide the first rollout so the policy matches your work style.
