Introduction: IT security and modern working in harmony
Tax firms face a dual challenge: They must meet the highest security requirements while keeping pace with increasing digitalization. Client data is particularly sensitive, while employees increasingly expect flexibility and mobile working. Microsoft Intune offers a central, cloud-based solution that combines security, compliance, and modern working models – without a complex IT infrastructure.
Why Microsoft Intune is essential for tax firms
Security and control for sensitive tax data
Tax advisors work daily with confidential client data that is subject to strict legal requirements. A data breach can have serious consequences – from financial penalties to reputational damage. Microsoft Intune enables centralized management of all office devices , whether company laptops or private devices.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) allow for targeted security policies to be implemented. Business and private data can be strictly separated, ensuring confidential documents never end up on unauthorized devices. This ensures data protection in every work environment.
Efficient IT administration and less effort
Traditional IT landscapes in tax offices are often complex to maintain. With Intune, manual device setup and updates are a thing of the past. Updates, security policies, and software installations are managed centrally, significantly reducing administrative overhead.
Integration with Microsoft 365 and Entra ID ensures that new devices are automatically preconfigured as soon as a user logs in. This saves time and minimizes security risks, as all devices remain up to date.
Microsoft Intune and supporting modern working models
Flexible working without security risks
The tax industry is changing – mobile working is no longer just a trend, but a requirement for many professionals. Microsoft Intune ensures that employees can work from anywhere without compromising data security . Thanks to Conditional Access and other complementary components from Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, such as Azure Virtual Desktop, only registered and protected devices have access to sensitive firm and client data.
Use Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) securely
More and more law firms are turning to BYOD to offer employees more flexibility. However, without clear security policies, personal devices pose a risk. With Intune , company data can be specifically secured while personal content remains untouched. If a device is lost or an employee leaves the company, law firms can use Remote Wipe to delete business data from selected devices without affecting personal data.
Employee retention through modern IT solutions
Digital processes play a role not only in efficiency but also in employee satisfaction. Young professionals expect modern IT structures that enable mobile working without compromising convenience. With Microsoft Intune, law firms can create a modern, secure, and flexible work environment that meets the expectations of the new generation and attracts long-term talent.
Microsoft Intune and Azure Virtual Desktop: A powerful combination
Microsoft Intune and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) together are the perfect solution for tax firms that require a secure and flexible IT environment . While Intune controls device management and security policies, AVD provides a centralized, cloud-based desktop environment .
The advantages of this combination:
- Maximum security: Only devices managed by Intune can access AVD, preventing unauthorized access.
- Consistent work: All employees access the same environment regardless of location, minimizing delays and IT issues.
- Easy management: IT administrators have control over all devices, applications, and access rights at all times without requiring physical access to the end devices.
- Fast scalability: New employees or temporary workstations can be set up with just a few clicks – including all applications and security policies.
The combination of Intune and AVD creates a highly secure and flexible working environment that enables tax firms to work efficiently and compliantly.
