Set Up Device Health Reporting via MDM

Set up Dr. Sprinto or integrate third-party MDM tools with Sprinto to automate device health reporting and stay compliant.

Use this guide to configure Sprinto to report staff device health status using either:

  • Dr. Sprinto – Sprinto’s native Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.

  • Third-party MDM tools – Choose from Sprinto-supported integrations like Microsoft Intune, JAMF, Sophos, and more.

Once configured, Sprinto fetches device configuration details periodically and flags non-compliant devices across your mapped compliance frameworks.


Before You Begin

Ensure that:

  • You are logged in to the Sprinto admin portal.

  • You have identified which staff types (e.g. Employees, Contractors) require monitoring.

  • If using a third-party MDM, you have admin credentials for that provider.


Here's a short video on how to manage devices with Sprinto.

Option 1: Set up Dr. Sprinto

Dr. Sprinto is Sprinto’s built-in agent-based MDM tool. It scans device configurations locally and reports data to Sprinto automatically every 24 hours.

To set up:

  1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.

  2. Go to Data Library > Staff Devices > Overview.

  3. Click Add MDM.

  1. Click Connect next to Dr. Sprinto.

  2. Choose the staff types to assign Dr. Sprinto to (for example, Employees only).

  3. Click Add Dr. Sprinto.

You can return to this screen and click Manage to modify staff types at any time.

Once configured, staff receive email prompts to install the Dr. Sprinto app. For installation and usage, refer to Install Dr. Sprinto & Report Device Health Status.


Option 2: Set up a third-party MDM tool

Sprinto supports integrations with widely-used MDM providers including:

  • Microsoft Intune

  • JAMF

  • Iru (Kandji)

  • Sophos

  • JumpCloud

  • Atera

  • Google Workspace (Chromebook)

  • VM Ware Workspace ONE

  • NinjaOne, and others.

To connect your MDM:

  1. Go to Data Library > Staff Devices > Overview.

  2. Click Add MDM.

  3. Click Connect next to your desired MDM provider.

  1. Review the accesss permissions and cliick Next.

  1. Review the connection type and prerequisites and click Connect.

Once integration is complete, you’ll return to the list of MDM tools. Click Add to activate the integration.

Sprinto will now start syncing device health data every 24 hours. If syncing fails, the devices are flagged as Inactive.


Manage MDM Provider Coverage

You can control which staff groups are monitored by each configured MDM provider. This allows you to apply different device management solutions to employees, contractors, interns, or consultants based on your organisation’s requirements.

To configure staff coverage for an MDM provider:

  1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.

  2. Go to Data Library > Staff Devices > Overview.

  3. Under MDM Providers, locate the provider you want to manage.

  4. Click Manage next to the provider.

  1. Select the staff groups you want the provider to monitor:

    • Employees

    • Contractors / Interns / Consultants

  2. Click Save.

After you save your changes, Sprinto applies the selected MDM provider only to the chosen staff groups and begins monitoring eligible devices against the configured checks.

Additional options for Dr. Sprinto

When managing Dr. Sprinto, you can also:

  • Enable Show download link on employee portal to make the installation link available to staff through the employee portal.

  • Download the appropriate Dr. Sprinto client for:

    • macOS (Intel chips)

    • macOS (Apple Silicon)
