Over the past week, we’ve spoken with multiple teams affected by the Delve situation.
Different companies. Different setups.
But the same underlying problem:
They lost control of their devices.
And when that happens, everything downstream starts to break:
- Security assumptions
- Compliance workflows
- Audit readiness
- Employee onboarding/offboarding
- Trust with customers
So we’re doing something about it.
What We’re Offering
We’re extending support to any company impacted by Delve:
- 6 months free of Swif.ai (up to 10 employees)
- No contracts, no lock-in
- Fast onboarding support included
This isn’t a promo.
It’s a response to a very real gap we’re seeing across teams right now.
What Delve Exposed (That Most Teams Miss)
Most early-stage companies think they’re “doing security” because they:
- Use Google Workspace or Okta
- Have Vanta / Drata / Secureframe
- Enable SSO and MFA
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
None of that actually secures the device.
And SOC 2 doesn’t care about your intentions, it cares about controls that are enforced at the endpoint level.
The Missing Layer: Device Control
If you zoom out, modern security stacks look like this:
- Identity layer → Okta / Google
- Compliance layer → Vanta / Drata
- Cloud layer → AWS / Azure
But the device layer is often missing.
That’s the blind spot.
Because:
- SSO only protects logins
- Compliance tools only report issues
- Cloud tools don’t see the endpoint
The device is where everything actually runs.
And if you don’t control it, you don’t control anything.
Why MDM Is the First Real SOC 2 Milestone
There’s a reason experienced founders say this:
“If you wanna pursue security certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, a MDM can help with getting your organization ready.”
This isn’t theory: it’s what actually happens during audits.
When auditors evaluate SOC 2, they’re not asking:
“Do you have Vanta?”
They’re asking:
- Are disks encrypted?
- Are devices patched?
- Are access controls enforced?
- Can you prove it continuously?
- Can you revoke access immediately?
Every one of those requires device-level enforcement
Not spreadsheets. Not screenshots.
Actual enforcement.
What Happens Without MDM (We’re Seeing This Right Now)
When companies don’t have MDM, or lose it, the cracks show fast:
1. Onboarding becomes manual chaos
- Engineers install tools themselves
- No guarantee of security baseline
- No consistency across devices
2. Offboarding becomes risky
- Access removal is incomplete
- Devices may retain company data
- No remote lock or wipe
3. Compliance becomes “best effort”
- Evidence is fragmented
- Controls aren’t enforceable
- Audits become stressful and reactive
4. Shadow IT explodes
- Unauthorized SaaS usage
- AI tools with no visibility
- Data leaving the organization silently
What MDM Actually Unlocks
A real MDM system isn’t just “device management.”
It’s the foundation layer for everything else:
Security Enforcement
- Disk encryption (FileVault, BitLocker)
- OS patching
- Firewall policies
- Malware protection
Operational Control
- Zero-touch onboarding
- Automated software installation
- Consistent developer environments
Compliance Automation
- Continuous monitoring (not point-in-time)
- Real-time audit evidence
- Direct integrations with Vanta / Drata
Incident Response
- Remote lock / wipe
- Immediate access revocation
- Containment of compromised devices
Swif was built to unify all of this: device management, security enforcement, and compliance, into one system instead of fragmented tools
Why This Moment Matters
What happened with Delve isn’t just a vendor issue.
It’s a reminder of something deeper:
If your security depends on a single tool, you don’t actually have control.
The companies that recover fastest are the ones that:
- Re-establish device control immediately
- Rebuild enforcement (not just visibility)
- Move from “tracking compliance” → “enforcing compliance”
How We Help You Recover (Fast)
We’ve designed onboarding for moments exactly like this:
- Enroll devices in hours, not weeks
- Apply baseline security policies instantly
- Reconnect compliance workflows (Vanta, Drata, etc.)
- Identify gaps immediately
Because in security:
Time-to-control matters more than anything
Who This Is For
If you’re affected by Delve and:
- You’re working toward SOC 2 or ISO 27001
- You’ve already started compliance workflows
- You need to regain control quickly
We can help.
Final Thought
A lot of companies think SOC 2 starts with documentation.
It doesn’t.
It starts with control.
And the first place control lives is the device.
Everything else builds on top of that.
If you’re impacted, reach out, we’ll get you set up right away.
No friction. Just getting you back to a secure, compliant state.
