Create a Custom Remediation Policy

Remediation Policies work with the MTP Mobile App to alert users that their devices are at risk. Use a custom Remediation Policy to define the actions to take when apps or devices are in violation, or out of compliance, based on selected App or Device Policies.

Tip: Appthority MTP Remediation Policies interact with an integrated EMM only for MTP Mobile App deployments. The MTP Mobile App must be deployed either directly or via an EMM for the options in this tab to be useful.

See Appthority MTP Overview for a discussion about policies. See About the Remediation Policies Tab for more details about the tab.

After you create Custom Remediation Policies, you can:

  • Modify them in the same Compliance > Remediation Policies tab.
  • Monitor policy violations using the Dashboard. See Use the Dashboard.
  • Get an email digest of policy violations.

Prior to creating a Custom Remediation Policy

Before you begin, make sure the following prerequisites are in place.

  • You have either the Org Admin or Policy Admin role on your user account.
  • The MTP Mobile App is deployed to the devices you wish to monitor. See the Devices tab to confirm.
