Endpoint Protection
Every device protected and proven — regardless of how it was set up before FCI.
Automated safeguard enforcement, endpoint detection and response, data exfiltration protection, and full device lifecycle management — applied consistently across every endpoint in the environment.

The Problem
Most endpoints are not as protected as firms believe.
BYOD Chaos
Personal devices with no normalized setup. Users sign in with Microsoft Live, skip corporate enrollment, and IT inherits a mess that Microsoft's registration process cannot fix after the fact.
Microsoft Defaults Are Not Security
Defender exists but is not configured. Endpoint features require licensing and activation. DLP is off. Firms believe Microsoft is handling it — but the defaults are weak and settings are not enforced.
No Checks and Balances
If Microsoft is your only endpoint security layer, Microsoft is grading its own homework. No independent verification that devices are actually encrypted, patched, or enforcing the right settings.
Pace of Change
Microsoft changes settings and processes constantly without retroactively fixing old configurations. Keeping up manually is nearly impossible for a small IT team.
What FCI Delivers
Eight capabilities — applied to every endpoint, enforced continuously.
FCI does not care how a device was registered. Live account, local account, or BYOD — FCI normalizes everything to a secure, consistent, auditable state.
Safeguard Enforcement
Automated, tamper-protected settings including USB encryption, web controls, app controls, and peripheral restrictions. Drift corrects automatically.
EDR & MXDR
AI-powered behavioral analysis, managed threat detection, device isolation for forensics, and centralized logging extended beyond the native 90-day limit.
Encryption Enforcement
Independent verification, 256-bit enforcement, key management, and key refresh — not relying on Microsoft's self-reporting.
OS & Third-Party Patching
Patch enforcement with evidence. Every device receives, verifies, and documents patches — security OS and third-party supported software.
Data Exfiltration & DLP
Protection at every exit point.
USB Drives
Encryption enforced on every removable device
Web Uploads
Controls on which sites can receive data — including AI platforms
App Controls
Block RATs and unauthorized remote access tools bad actors use
Peripheral Controls
Manage which devices can connect to the endpoint
Endpoint DLP
Enforced data loss prevention — not just a policy, but active controls
Vulnerability Protection
Exploit prevention beyond what Microsoft Defender provides by default
Management & Lifecycle
Every device managed from activation through decommission.
Remote Monitoring & Management
Structured automation: identify, strategize, script, test, deploy, verify, produce evidence. Nothing manual when automation can do it with proof.
Computer OS MFA
Regulators require MFA on systems with NPI. The computer itself is the most obvious one — FCI enforces MFA at the OS login level.
Device Lifecycle
Active → Lock → Destroy → Release → Decommissioned. Full encryption key lifecycle. NPI review before release. 90% reduction in decommissioning time.
Asset Inventory
Accurate, up-to-date, with full history. User-to-device correlation, location, team, logical grouping — what Microsoft's device list cannot provide.
How FCI Is Different
Same tools, different results — four reasons why.
Expert Mastery
400+ environments. FCI knows which settings matter, why defaults are dangerous, and what the tool does not tell you. What FCI discovers for one firm protects every firm.
Automated Procedures
Templates replace manual configuration. Settings are enforced continuously — not configured once and hoped for. Drift corrects without a ticket.
Consistent Controls
Every user, every device, every network. BYOD, corporate, Mac, Windows — all under the same standard. No gaps, no exceptions.
Persistent Proof
Encryption verified independently. Settings confirmed continuously. Evidence produced every day — not just on audit day.
Interconnection
Endpoint security strengthens every other domain.
A secured endpoint is not just a protected device — it becomes an authentication factor, a network enforcement point, and a data protection layer.
The Principle
No single domain failure defeats the system — every layer reinforces every other layer
User Security
Computer-as-MFA — the device itself becomes an authentication factor
Network Security
VPN-connected endpoints enable IP-based access controls
Cloud App Security
Restrict cloud access to trusted, hardened endpoints only
Data Security
DLP, USB encryption, and app controls at the point of work
Firm Security
Every endpoint feeds the FCI Portal with real-time evidence
