Microsoft Edge for Business
What an Edge engagement covers

Six browser-deployment disciplines.

Edge for Business is more than a browser install. It is profile management, security baselines, IE-mode legacy support, and integration with Defender, Purview, and Entra.

Edge deployment

Edge installed via Intune, ADMX templates, or Group Policy. Configuration profiles for default search, homepage, security defaults. Custom branding for managed environments.

Profile separation

Work profile (Entra ID-bound) and personal profile (MSA) separated automatically. Corporate browsing data, favorites, and history isolated from personal use.

Security baselines

Smart Screen, Application Guard, downloads protection, password manager, autofill controls. Baselines tuned to your security posture.

Conditional access integration

Edge participates in conditional-access policies, device-compliance enforcement, browser-based MFA. Compliant-device requirements honoured.

IE-mode coexistence

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.

Reporting and audit

Edge usage analytics, policy-compliance reporting, IE-mode site list inventory. Audit-ready evidence for ISO 27001 A.12.6 and similar controls.

Why GR IT for Edge

Four reasons clients pick us for the deployment.

Edge deployments are easy to get wrong: profile separation broken, security baselines missing, IE-mode legacy mismanaged. The discipline matters.

60+ Edge tenants

Pattern recognition matters. We have deployed Edge across SMEs, regulated firms, and education. Common policy quirks, common IE-mode traps.

Security-baseline first

Microsoft security baselines applied with environment-specific tuning. Not "leave defaults" or "open everything"; baselines tested and documented.

IE-mode expertise

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.

How a deployment runs

From browser audit to managed Edge operations.

Every Edge engagement runs the same path. Documented, evidenced, deliverable on a fixed timeline.
  1. 1

    Browser audit

    1 week

    Current browser inventory, IE-mode dependency assessment, Group Policy review. Output: deployment plan and IE-mode site list.

  2. 2

    Configure

    1-2 weeks

    Security baseline applied, IE-mode site list deployed, profile policies configured, conditional access integrated.

  3. 3

    Deploy

    2-3 weeks

    Phased Edge rollout via Intune or Group Policy. Communication to end users, on-the-ground support during cutover.

  4. 4

    Operate

    Continuous

    Ongoing IE-mode site list management, policy updates, monthly fleet review, IE-to-Edge migration planning.

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.
