In any enterprise mobility strategy, controlling which applications are allowed or restricted on devices is essential for maintaining security, compliance, and productivity. Trio’s App Policies feature gives IT administrators the tools they need to manage application behavior across all operating systems from a single, unified platform.
Whether you're protecting sensitive data or enforcing software standards, App Policies ensure that only approved applications are accessible within your organization's mobile ecosystem.
What Are App Policies?
App Policies in Trio allow administrators to whitelist or blacklist applications based on the organization's security and operational requirements. These policies can be customized per device group or user role, providing precise control over application availability across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows environments.
Key Capabilities
With App Policies in Trio, administrators can:
Whitelist applications that are approved for use
Blacklist applications that are prohibited for security, compliance, or productivity reasons
Apply app restrictions by platform, group, or individual user
Automatically enforce policies during device enrollment or reconfiguration
Ensure that only apps aligned with company policies are installed and operational
These capabilities help reduce the risk of malware, data leaks, shadow IT, and unauthorized access to corporate systems.
How to Set App Policies in Trio
Navigate to the Trio panel and select Compliance from the left-hand menu.
Click on App Policy, then select "Add" to create a new policy.
Enter a name for the policy and an optional description.
Choose the operating system the policy will apply to.
Select the policy type — either Allowed (whitelist) or Blocked (blacklist).
Click Save to apply the policy.
Once saved, the policy will be enforced on devices that match the specified settings.
Why App Policies Matter
Security: Prevent unvetted or harmful apps from being installed on managed devices
Compliance: Enforce industry and regulatory standards by blocking non-compliant applications
Productivity: Reduce distractions and prevent misuse of corporate devices
Standardization: Maintain a consistent application environment across departments and teams
App policies support both proactive control and reactive enforcement, ensuring that devices remain secure and aligned with company standards at all times.
Simple Management, Scalable Enforcement
Trio’s App Policies are easy to set up and scale. Admins can manage rules through the central dashboard, monitor app installations in real time, and adjust policies as business needs evolve. When combined with other Trio features like compliance monitoring and software distribution, App Policies become a critical part of your endpoint security and management strategy.
