Edge installed via Intune, ADMX templates, or Group Policy. Configuration profiles for default search, homepage, security defaults. Custom branding for managed environments.
Work profile (Entra ID-bound) and personal profile (MSA) separated automatically. Corporate browsing data, favorites, and history isolated from personal use.
Smart Screen, Application Guard, downloads protection, password manager, autofill controls. Baselines tuned to your security posture.
Edge participates in conditional-access policies, device-compliance enforcement, browser-based MFA. Compliant-device requirements honoured.
IE-mode deployment for legacy line-of-business apps that require IE rendering. IE-mode site list managed centrally, gradual migration to Edge-native rendering.
Edge usage analytics, policy-compliance reporting, IE-mode site list inventory. Audit-ready evidence for ISO 27001 A.12.6 and similar controls.
Pattern recognition matters. We have deployed Edge across SMEs, regulated firms, and education. Common policy quirks, common IE-mode traps.
Microsoft security baselines applied with environment-specific tuning. Not "leave defaults" or "open everything"; baselines tested and documented.
Many organisations still depend on legacy IE apps. We deploy IE-mode coexistence properly, manage the site list, and plan the migration to Edge-native rendering.

“We had a legacy ERP that only worked in IE11, and Microsoft's IE end-of-life forced our hand. GR IT deployed Edge with IE-mode coexistence in three weeks: legacy ERP works in IE-mode rendering, modern apps use Edge native, profile separation keeps work and personal browsing apart. The migration was less painful than the planning suggested.”
