Automate zero-touch Apple deployment with compliance and security enforcement.

Iru (Kandji) is a modern Apple device management platform that provides zero-touch deployment, automated compliance, and intelligent device management for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

## Capabilities

- **Device Inventory**: Sync all managed Apple devices with real-time status
- **Compliance Automation**: Monitor and enforce security baselines automatically
- **Remote Actions**: Execute lock, restart, and erase commands

## What Harmony does with Iru (formerly Kandji)

Connecting Iru puts live device posture inside Harmony's single agent inventory, so IT can see a Mac's health and compliance without opening the Iru console. Lock, restart, or push a fix to a device straight from its record in Harmony. When an employee reports a device problem, Harmony already has the full picture and can act on it in the conversation.

## Data synced

- Device inventory, hardware specs, online status, and last check-in time
- Compliance and security parameter status, including FileVault encryption
- Installed apps with version details and assigned user per device
- Operating system versions across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS

## Actions available

- Remotely lock, restart, or erase a device
- Deploy a custom script to a targeted device or the wider fleet
- Install an app from Iru's library through a self-service flow

## Real-world use cases

**Lost laptop, locked fast**: An employee reports a stolen Mac in Slack. Harmony pulls the device record and locks it before the conversation ends.

**Fix pushed without a desk visit**: A recurring config issue hits a Mac. Harmony deploys the custom script to the device, and Iru blueprints stay untouched.

**Compliance check on demand**: Security asks which Macs have FileVault off. Harmony reads Iru's compliance status and returns the list in seconds.
