FAQ

Frequently asked questions from the public sector

Where is the data stored?

expand_more
Cortado MDM is operated in a certified data center in Frankfurt am Main. Development, support, and the contractual partner are based in Berlin – the data is processed fully in accordance with the EU GDPR.

Can we manage Apple and Android devices together?

expand_more
Yes. iPhones, iPads, Macs, Android smartphones and tablets, and rugged devices can be managed in one interface – including Apple Business Manager and Android Enterprise.

expand_more
Yes. Work data resides in a separate workspace. Personal content remains invisible to IT, and work data can be selectively wiped at any time.
