This separation ensures that work data stays protected within the work profile, while personal data remains private and accessible only to the user. The IT team can enforce security policies and manage work apps without accessing or controlling personal apps and data, giving employees peace of mind when using their company device for personal tasks.<\/p>\n<h3>Key features of WPCO<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Data isolation:<\/strong> WPCO keeps corporate data and personal data in separate profiles. Work data is confined to the work profile, allowing for enhanced protection and clear boundaries between work and personal spaces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>App management:<\/strong> IT administrators can remotely deploy and manage business apps in the work profile without affecting personal apps. Employees still have full control over the apps in their personal profile, allowing them to install or delete personal apps freely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"next_blog\"><div class=\"post-next\"><div class=\"hex_blog_box_parent\"><div class=\"blog_warp_next\"><div class=\"next_blog_thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enterprise-app-management.png?format=webp)\"><\/div><div class=\"next_post_content\"><div class=\"center_box\"><h4>Hassle free app management with Android Enterprise & Hexnode<\/h4><p>Enterprise app management is now simpler than ever with Android enterprise and Hexnode<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><a class=\"hex_blog_box_link hn-cta__blogs--blog-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/android-enterprise-app-management\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_wpco&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blog_box\" aria-label=\"Hassle free app management with Android Enterprise & Hexnode\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Security controls:<\/strong> WPCO offers built-in security features that give organizations control over the work profile, including setting password requirements, enabling remote data wipes, and enforcing other security policies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    \t\t<div class=\"hts-messages hts-messages--alert    \"   >\r\n    \t\t\t    \t\t\t    \t\t\t\t<p>\r\n    \t\t\t\t\t<br \/>\nAndroid WPCO can be looked upon as a hybrid of the Profile Owner and Device Owner modes that Hexnode already supports.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Device owner:<\/strong> It is a management setup for company-owned Android devices, giving IT full control to enforce policies, manage apps, and secure the device. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/what-is-android-device-owner-mode\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_wpco&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Device owner<\/a> mode is ideal for dedicated work use, such as kiosks or single-purpose business devices, as it restricts personal usage and maximizes security.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Profile owner:<\/strong> It is an Android Enterprise mode primarily used for managing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/what-is-android-work-profile\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_wpco&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">work profile<\/a> on a device, often in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) setups.

The enrollment process is quick and easy via a QR code, ensuring minimal effort for end users. These profiles enables the following major usecases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Admins can configure app permissions, allowing or restricting specific permissions based on security needs.<\/li>\n<li>Devices can be added into static groups, departments, or specific roles. Admins can also set a personalized device name during enrollment, simplifying device identification and management.<\/li>\n<li>Introduced support for EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) Wi-Fi protocols. This provides stronger, enterprise-grade network security, ensuring reliable and secure Wi-Fi connectivity for devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these new capabilities, Hexnode equips admins to create a more tailored, secure, and organized device management experience across both Device Owner and WPCO deployments.<\/p>\n<p>    \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n    \t\t\t    \t\t\t\r\n    \t\t<\/div><!-- \/.ht-shortcodes-messages -->\r\n    \t\t\n<h2>Why do we need WPCO?<\/h2>\n<p>As businesses increasingly adopt flexible work models, the demand for device management solutions that support both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/byod-and-productivity\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_wpco&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BYOD<\/a> (Bring Your Own Device) and corporate-owned devices is on the rise. While BYOD setups offer convenience and cost savings, they also introduce challenges in maintaining security on employee devices. Similarly, corporate-owned devices used for both work and personal tasks require a careful balance between corporate security and employee privacy.<\/p>\n<p>WPCO is the solution that bridges the gap between BYOD and traditional device management by allowing businesses to secure corporate data on company-owned devices while maintaining a clear separation between work and personal information. Unlike BYOD, which relies on employee-owned devices, WPCO ensures that both corporate security and employee privacy are effectively managed on company-provided devices used for both professional and personal purposes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    \t\t<div class=\"hts-messages hts-messages--info    \"   >\r\n    \t\t\t    \t\t\t    \t\t\t\t<p>\r\n    \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>WPCO vs BYOD<\/h3>\n<p>The key difference between <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/a-quick-guide-to-byod-management-on-android-and-ios\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_wpco&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BYOD<\/a><\/strong> (Bring Your Own Device) and <strong>WPCO<\/strong> (Work Profile on Company-Owned devices) lies in the ownership and control of the device and the approach to managing work and personal data.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
