Updated on October 6th, 2022

Many organizations allow people to use the same mobile

device for personal and business purposes because it's more
convenient and can also boost productivity.

The coexistence of corporate and private applications on the

same device can, however, raise concerns about the security of
the work data as well as the privacy of users.

What is containerization?
It is beneficial for both the device users and IT organizations
to draw a clear line between work and non-work-related
activities on a mobile device by separating the business and
personal apps from each other. This security strategy is known
as containerization.

How to control the flow of business and

personal data on iOS/iPadOS devices?
Unlike for Android, there is no need to create a dedicated
Work Profile
(https://www.miradore.com/knowledge/android/how-to-setup-
android-work-profile/) container or workspace for business
apps on Apple devices. Instead, on Apple iPhones and iPads,
work and personal data are managed separately without
segmenting the user's experience. Apple's framework in the
 device's operating system allows IT organizations

business data with a light touch through MDM software like
Miradore. No separate Client is needed because the
framework is part of the operating system.

software. It can be any app from the App Store or custom in-
(https://www.miradore.com/support/)
house applications installed. You can remotely configure,
update, or remove the managed app from the devices through
the MDM. Mail clients, communications software, and office
apps are typical examples of managed apps.

Unmanaged apps, on the other hand, are personal applications

installed by the device user.

Prevent data transfer between managed and

unmanaged apps
Device users can, by default, move data and contents between
managed and unmanaged apps freely as they wish.

With Miradore, you easily apply restrictions to protect

company data and users' privacy by denying the data transfer
between managed and unmanaged apps on devices used for
work and personal matters. The devices don't even have to be
supervised.

1. Navigate to Management > Configuration Profiles on your

Miradore site, and create a Restriction profile (Add > iOS >
Restrictions).

2. Switch to the Security and privacy tab and check the Deny

documents from managed sources in unmanaged destination
and Deny documents from unmanaged sources in managed
destination fields. See the below screen capture and field
tooltips for further information. After applying these
restrictions, device users cannot open data from managed
apps in unmanaged apps or vice versa. The users still can open
managed documents using other managed apps and
unmanaged documents using other unmanaged apps.

 In addition, the admin can control what users Login
can copy and (https://login.online.miradore.com/login) |

paste with the restriction Require managed copy and paste on
devices with iOS 15 or above. The restriction makes it possible
to ensure that the Clipboard respects document settings of
managed/unmanaged destinations. For example, this prevents (https://www.m

the content of the managed application from being pasted

into unmanaged ones and vice versa.

On the Device functionality tab:

AirDrop: Force unmanaged drop target: This
(https://www.miradore.com/support/)
restriction specifies if AirDrop should be considered an
unmanaged drop target.

Deny screen capture: This restriction prevents users

from saving a screenshot of the device screen. This
restriction affects the whole device, no matter whether
the user has unmanaged or managed apps open.

On the iCloud tab:

Deny managed apps sync: This restriction prevents

data sync from managed apps to iCloud.

4. Finally, remember to deploy the restrictions configuration

profile to the desired devices. You can do that easily from the
Devices page using the Deploy > Deploy configuration
profile option.
