Seqrite BYOD
Seqrite BYOD is designed to use primarily & exclusively for enterprises planning to roll-out BYOD functionality for its employees. The product helps employees to work on their personal devices seamlessly without jeopardizing enterprise collateral.
Seqrite BYOD is available on Android as well as iOS Mobile Operating Systems.
Seqrite BYOD comes with an easy-tounderstand, lucid dashboard through which you can easily analyze your employees’ engagement rates about working from the Seqrite Workspace App.
Along with the base package of E-mail, Calendar and Contacts, Seqrite BYOD additionally includes a secure browser, a vault which is a central repository securely holding enterprise documents, a secure camera and intelligent text-specific modules.
Seqrite BYOD integrates with Office 365, G Suite, Zimbra, Zoho, IMAP/POP, etc.
Seqrite BYOD comes with a comprehensive console through which IT Admins can easily configure every capability according to business policy. The console is pre-loaded with a variety of policies and profiles to configure Seqrite BYOD capabilities as per business requirements.
Seqrite BYOD will not get installed on rooted or jailbroken devices.
IT Admins can Whitelist & Blacklist websites based on URLs and keywords within the secure browser in the Workspace. Once you decide what you want to allow or disallow, your admins can deploy your choices in the blink of an eye.
No, you cannot deny the uninstallation of Seqrite BYOD since it is an employees’ personal device. However, in an event where an employee uninstalls the app, the administrator will be alerted on the dashboard.
On re-installation, it works as a newly installed application. The employee needs to re-configure his official email inside the Seqrite BYOD email client. On doing so, emails and other related information (like contacts and calendar) will auto-populate. However, data saved inside the vault will be lost.
Seqrite BYOD has an over the air function to wipe the Workspace from the device. This is a management command from the secure management console which can only be accessed by a qualified administrator and will wipe Seqrite BYOD and all data from the device.
Seqrite BYOD includes a policy for a feature called ‘Time Bomb’. When enabled the administrator will define a period of time (i.e. 30 days) and if the Seqrite BYOD client on the device has not checked in with the secure management server, the Seqrite BYOD client on the device will automatically wipe itself.
Seqrite BYOD has thoughtfully provisioned all the essential enterprise Apps for its users.
No, this product functions in conjunction with Seqrite’s mSuite, a complete EMM solution. In order to obtain Seqrite BYOD, mSuite has to be pre-installed.
Seqrite BYOD creates a virtual boundary between employees’ personal data and enterprise data on phones. IT Admins can only control the use of Seqrite BYOD on employee phones.
All software can, in theory, be hacked. However, Seqrite BYOD has taken all the necessary precautions that are available today to protect against hacking.
Seqrite BYOD and the secure management server have been designed to scale according to the size of the deployment.
Our app’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to Google API User Data Policy, including the Limited Use Requirements.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a workplace policy that allows employees to use their personal smartphones, tablets, or laptops for work purposes. In India, BYOD adoption has accelerated due to the rise of remote work, cost savings on device procurement, and the preference of younger workforces to use their own devices. However, BYOD introduces security risks unauthorized access to corporate data, data leaks, and compliance challenges which Seqrite BYOD is specifically designed to address.
Seqrite BYOD creates a secure, isolated workspace (called a container) on the employee’s personal device that separates corporate data from personal data. IT admins have full control over the workspace they can enforce policies, remotely wipe corporate data, and monitor usage within the workspace but they cannot access, view, or interfere with the employee’s personal photos, messages, or apps outside the workspace. This privacy-preserving architecture makes BYOD adoption acceptable to both employers and employees in India.
Seqrite BYOD supports both Android and iOS platforms, covering the most common devices used by Indian employees. Whether your workforce uses Android smartphones (Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc.) or iPhones, Seqrite BYOD provides a consistent secure workspace experience across both platforms, managed centrally from the IT admin console.
The Seqrite BYOD workspace includes a secure email client (integrating with Office 365, G Suite, Zimbra, Zoho, IMAP/POP), calendar, contacts, a secure browser with URL whitelisting/blacklisting, a document vault (central secure repository for enterprise files), a secure camera, and intelligent text-specific modules. These cover the essential productivity tools that Indian employees need to work from personal devices without requiring access to unsecured personal apps.
Yes. Seqrite BYOD integrates with all major corporate email platforms used in India, including Microsoft Office 365, Google G Suite (Google Workspace), Zimbra, Zoho Mail, and IMAP/POP-based email servers. Once configured, employees simply enter their corporate email credentials inside the Seqrite BYOD workspace, and their email, calendar, and contacts automatically sync without ever exposing corporate email data to the device’s native email app.
If an employee leaves or their device is lost, the IT admin can remotely wipe only the Seqrite BYOD workspace and all its corporate data from the device without touching the employee’s personal content. For scenarios where a device goes offline for an extended period, Seqrite BYOD’s ‘Time Bomb’ policy automatically wipes the workspace if the device hasn’t checked in with the management server within an admin-defined period (e.g., 30 days), ensuring data doesn’t remain exposed on unreachable devices.
Since it’s the employee’s personal device, they cannot be prevented from uninstalling the app. However, the moment the Seqrite BYOD app is uninstalled, the IT admin is immediately alerted on the management dashboard. This notification allows IT teams to take action such as revoking access to corporate systems or following up with the employee ensuring that corporate data security is not compromised without oversight.
No. Seqrite BYOD will not install or function on rooted Android devices or jailbroken iPhones. Rooted and jailbroken devices have bypassed the built-in security mechanisms of their operating systems, making them significantly more vulnerable to malware and data theft. This restriction ensures that Seqrite BYOD is only deployed on devices with intact security frameworks, protecting corporate data from elevated-risk environments.
Seqrite BYOD supports DPDP Act compliance by enforcing a clear separation between personal and corporate data on employee devices, ensuring corporate data is always protected and remotely erasable. The admin console provides audit trails and access logs for the corporate workspace. The system’s consent-based enrollment, privacy-respecting architecture, and remote wipe capabilities align with the DPDP Act’s requirements for data minimization, security safeguards, and the right to erasure.
Seqrite BYOD and its underlying secure management server are designed to scale according to the size of the deployment. Whether you are a 50-person startup in Bengaluru or a 10,000-employee enterprise across India, Seqrite BYOD can scale to match your workforce size. Organizations can start with a pilot deployment and expand seamlessly without changing the management infrastructure or architecture.
