Every device that connects to your business network is a potential entry point for attackers. Laptops taken home, smartphones accessing company email, tablets used in the field — each one extends your attack surface beyond the office perimeter. DiekerIT’s endpoint security service protects all of these devices with layered controls, whether they are on-site, remote, or mobile.
Endpoint security at DiekerIT covers the full device lifecycle — from initial hardening and policy deployment to ongoing monitoring, incident response, and security audits.

​
What is included

Antivirus & anti-malware

Modern endpoint detection and response (EDR) protection that goes beyond signature-based antivirus — detecting behavioral threats, ransomware, and fileless attacks in real time.

Firewall management

Host-based firewall configuration on every managed endpoint, with rules reviewed and updated centrally. No relying on users to manage their own firewall settings.

Disk encryption

Full-disk encryption using BitLocker (Windows) or FileVault (macOS) ensures that data on lost or stolen devices cannot be read without authorization.

Access controls

Role-based access policies, multi-factor authentication enforcement, and privileged account controls limit what each user and device can access.

Mobile Device Management

MDM for smartphones and tablets: enforce PIN/passphrase requirements, restrict app installations, and enable remote wipe on lost devices.

Security audits

Periodic audits of your endpoint security posture, including vulnerability scanning, configuration review, and an actionable remediation report.

​
Coverage across all locations

Your devices do not stay in the office — and your endpoint security cannot either.
Employees working from home connect over untrusted networks. DiekerIT enforces VPN usage, tightens firewall rules for non-office environments, and ensures that remote devices meet the same security standards as office hardware.
Smartphones and tablets used by sales teams, technicians, or executives are enrolled in MDM. Security policies — including encryption, app restrictions, and remote wipe capability — are applied automatically on enrollment.
On-premises hardware is hardened against physical and network-based threats. Endpoint agents monitor for suspicious activity and report to a centralized management console.

​
How endpoint security is deployed

1

Security baseline assessment

Audit your current endpoint estate to understand what devices exist, what protection is already in place, and where the gaps are. This produces a prioritized list of remediation actions.
2

Policy design

Define security policies tailored to your business — balancing protection with usability. Overly restrictive policies that slow users down tend to get bypassed; the right balance is essential.
3

Agent and MDM deployment

Deploy endpoint protection agents and MDM enrollment to all managed devices — remotely where possible, on-site for devices that require it.
4

Hardening and configuration

Apply the agreed security baseline: enable encryption, configure firewalls, enforce MFA, restrict local admin rights, and disable unused services.
5

Ongoing monitoring and response

Endpoint agents report continuously to a management platform. Alerts are reviewed and acted upon. Security events are investigated and resolved.

​
Security audits and compliance

If your business handles personal data under the GDPR, endpoint encryption and access controls are not optional — they are required technical measures. A DiekerIT security audit gives you documented evidence of the controls in place.
Regular security audits help you stay ahead of evolving threats and meet compliance requirements. A DiekerIT endpoint security audit covers:
  • Inventory of all managed and unmanaged endpoints
  • Patch and vulnerability status across the fleet
  • Encryption coverage and key management
  • Password and MFA policy enforcement
  • Review of user privilege levels and access rights
  • Identification of shadow IT (unauthorized devices and software)
  • Written report with findings and a prioritized remediation plan
Security audits are available as a standalone engagement or as part of ongoing managed security services. Contact DiekerIT to discuss what level of coverage fits your business.

​
Common threats endpoint security addresses

Ransomware encrypts your data and demands payment for the decryption key. EDR protection detects ransomware behavior in real time and stops the encryption process before it spreads — even for variants not yet in any signature database.
Attackers target employees with convincing phishing emails to steal login credentials. Endpoint controls — including MFA enforcement and web filtering — significantly reduce the impact of a successful phishing attack.
Without encryption and remote wipe capability, a stolen laptop or phone can expose everything on it. Full-disk encryption and MDM together ensure that physical device loss does not become a data breach.
Not all security incidents come from outside. Access controls, activity logging, and USB device restrictions reduce the risk of accidental or intentional data leakage by employees.
A single unprotected endpoint — an employee’s personal laptop used for work, or a device that missed the MDM enrollment — can undermine the security controls applied to the rest of your fleet. Full coverage across all endpoints is essential.
