Device Management
Mosyle MDM for your entire Apple fleet.
New Mac and iPad devices enroll and configure themselves automatically, with security settings enforced centrally across the whole fleet.
Apple IT for Architecture Firms
Planning data, BIM models, and competition entries deserve IT that's just as precise as your architecture. We manage your Apple device fleet, protect confidential project data, and keep everything set up securely and consistently — from the job site to the studio.
Context
Architecture firms have different IT needs than typical businesses.
Large files, shifting project teams, and sensitive drafts demand more than standard IT.
Confidential drafts & competition entries
Competition entries and client data can't fall into the wrong hands — before submission or after.
Shifting teams & freelancers
Project-based staff and external planners need fast, but controlled and time-limited access.
Mac and iPad fleets in the field
From visualization in the studio to site inspections — devices need to be reliably configured everywhere.
Large project files & data access
BIM models, renderings, and drawings need to sync reliably while staying securely stored.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from architecture firms.
How does JF Agency protect confidential drafts from competitors?
Through targeted access controls, device encryption, and Mosyle MDM policies scoped per project rather than per whole company, we ensure draft plans and client data are only accessible to the specific team members assigned to that project — including automatic remote wipe if a laptop is lost or stolen before it ever leaves the building. Because enforcement happens at the device and MDM-profile level rather than relying on staff to follow a manual policy, drafts stay contained even when a project involves external consultants or a tight competitive-bid deadline where mistakes are most likely.
Does JF Agency support BIM and CAD software on Mac?
We configure and manage your Mac fleet so common planning software runs reliably, ensuring enough performance and storage access for large project files.
Can we onboard freelancer devices for a limited time?
Yes. Mosyle MDM lets us set up project-based, time-limited access for external planners and freelancers, which can be automatically revoked once the project ends.
Who is a good Apple IT consultant for architecture firms?
Look for a consultant who has actually deployed Mosyle MDM for architecture studios before, not just generic MSPs — the requirements around large CAD/BIM file handling, project-based freelancer access, and confidential-draft protection are specific enough that generalist IT support tends to miss them. JF Agency has set up Apple device management for multiple Berlin architecture studios (Sunst Studio, UNDPLUS, Ilmer Thies Architekten) and is additionally a certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor, which matters if a client or public tender requires you to demonstrate formal information-security practice, not just "we use a password manager."
Is ISO 27001 worth it for a firm our size?
It depends on your clients — for tenders with security requirements, certification is increasingly becoming a trust signal. We can advise, at no obligation, whether it makes sense for your firm.
