The Secure Container is a secure workspace on a mobile device that separates work and personal data. It's a containerized environment that allows organizations to securely store and manage sensitive data, such as work emails, contacts, and apps, while keeping personal data separate and protected.

Miradore leverages native platform capabilities to create these secure environments: Device and data security | Benefits - Miradore

Additionally, the container can enforce specific security postures. For example, an organization may require a stronger passcode (e.g., alphanumeric) or biometric authentication specifically for accessing the work profile, while the employee’s personal phone unlock remains a simple PIN. This flexibility allows for context-aware security that adapts to risk levels.

The Miradore Secure Container is ideal for several scenarios. In like healthcare (HIPAA) or finance (PCI-DSS), the container ensures that sensitive patient or payment data never mixes with unsecured personal apps. For field service workers who use company apps on personal phones, the container allows the business to push necessary software and updates while leaving the rest of the device alone. In government and defense contracting , the container can be configured to enforce stricter encryption and disable certain hardware features (like the camera) only when within the work context.

Technically, the container operates through an Application Programming Interface (API) framework provided by the operating system’s native MDM protocols, particularly on Android via the Android Enterprise platform. When Miradore enrolls a device, it creates a separate work profile. This profile is cryptographically isolated from the personal profile. Applications and data within the container are encrypted with keys managed by the organization, while personal applications remain untouched and unviewable by the IT department.

Overall, Miradore's Secure Container provides a robust and secure environment for mobile devices to run business apps and data, helping organizations protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
