The problem it solves

Jamf doesn't tell you when someone edits a device policy, so unauthorized or accidental changes can sit unnoticed for weeks. You're left manually checking policy settings to catch anything that shifted. For a security or compliance team, that's a blind spot you can't afford.

Who it fits

IT security and compliance teams responsible for managing Apple devices through Jamf.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks your current Jamf Pro policies
  2. It compares them against the last known configuration
  3. If anything has changed, it flags exactly what was modified
  4. It sends an alert to Slack with the policy name and time of the change
What you get

Policy changes you hear about first

You get a Slack alert the moment a device policy changes, so your team always knows what changed and when.

What you get

A Slack alert naming the exact policy that changed and when, so nothing gets modified unnoticed.

What you need

A Jamf Pro account and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
