Deployment Blueprint 1: Small Business (Under 500 Devices)
This blueprint focuses on rapid deployment with minimal infrastructure. Organizations use Hexnode
cloud with standard enrollment via email or QR.
Identity integration is optional; local credentials may be used. Policies are simplified focusing on
password enforcement, Wi-Fi setup, and app deployment.
Kiosk mode may be enabled for retail or field devices. Automation is minimal but includes compliance
triggers for lock and wipe.
Recommended approach is phased rollout starting with pilot users followed by full deployment.
Deployment Blueprint 2: Mid-Size Enterprise (500–5000 Devices)
This model integrates Hexnode with Azure AD for identity-driven access control. Devices use
automated enrollment such as Apple ADE and Android Zero-touch.
Policy design becomes layered: baseline security, department-specific rules, and device-specific
controls.
Application management is centralized with mandatory apps and version control. Reporting dashboards
track compliance and device posture.
Automation rules are introduced such as conditional access enforcement if devices become
non-compliant.
Deployment Blueprint 3: Large Enterprise (5000+ Devices)
Enterprises deploy Hexnode as part of a broader Zero Trust architecture integrated with Azure AD,
SIEM tools, and conditional access systems.
Devices are fully automated using zero-touch provisioning. Role-based access control is implemented
for IT teams.
Advanced policy segmentation is required including region-based, role-based, and risk-based
configurations.
Security posture includes continuous compliance validation, threat detection, and automated
remediation workflows.
Deployment Blueprint 4: Retail / Kiosk Environment
Devices are configured in kiosk mode to run POS or customer-facing applications. Enrollment is
bulk-driven using QR or staging.
Strict restrictions disable navigation, settings access, and unauthorized apps. Network policies ensure
secure connectivity.
Remote monitoring and troubleshooting are critical. Devices are locked down with geofencing and theft
protection mechanisms.
High availability is ensured through redundant configurations and rapid device replacement strategies.
Deployment Blueprint 5: Healthcare / Regulated Industry
Deployment focuses heavily on compliance such as HIPAA. Data encryption and secure access
policies are mandatory.
Devices are often shared, requiring user session management and secure login mechanisms.
Audit trails and reporting are critical for regulatory compliance. Remote wipe and lock features are
enforced strictly.
Integration with identity providers ensures only authorized personnel can access sensitive applications
and data.
