How Hypori Solves Multi-Tenant Mobile Device Access

For many organizations, the compliance boundaries surrounding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) doesn’t extend across their entire business. Instead, by design, these businesses often function as multi-tenant organizations, with distinct divisions, subsidiaries, or parent companies managing separate operational segments. 

This segmented strategy often employs a CUI Enclave to establish clear compliance boundaries, reduce risk, and serve as the quickest path to CMMC L2 assessment readiness. For example, an organization may utilize: 

• Commercial Microsoft 365 Tenant – users supporting commercial business 

• GCC/GCC High Microsoft 365 Tenant – users supporting DoD contracts 

Multi-tenant organizations face unique challenges as key personnel (subject-matter experts, IT, leaders, etc.) need the ability to support projects across tenant boundaries. 

While Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) provides an excellent solution to support multi-tenant access from a workstation, what’s the answer for secure and efficient context switching from a mobile device? 

Users need a solution to bridge the gap. 

The Problem 

Within the Microsoft ecosystem, we use Intune’s endpoint management suite for device compliance, app deployment, endpoint security, etc. However, Intune has one key limitation impacting multi-tenant organizations: a mobile device can only be enrolled in Intune with one organization at a given time. 

To work around this limitation, many organizations resort to a swivel seat approach – issuing multiple physical devices to users. One device gets enrolled in the primary tenant, while a second device is enrolled and used to securely access another. 

This approach, while functional, is far from ideal: 

• Increased Costs – procuring, managing, and refreshing corporate devices for multi-tenant access adds significant expense. 

• Administrative Overhead – IT teams must manage an expanded inventory of devices. 

• User Frustration – Carrying multiple devices is inconvenient and often leads to inadequate response time to notifications or poor user-adoption of business-critical tools. 

The Solution – Hypori 

Like Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Hypori is a cloud-hosted mobile virtualization platform. Hypori functions much like a physical smartphone, but the virtual device runs apps and data in the cloud rather than on the user’s physical device. 

How does it work? 

• Only encrypted pixels are transmitted to/from the physical device. 

• No data at rest. 

• Keeps enterprise data 100% separate from user personal data. 

• Secure access to sensitive data from BYOD endpoint 

With Hypori, your physical device becomes a “window” into one (or many) virtualized workspaces. A user’s input and interactions are sent to Hypori’s FedRAMP High cloud, and screen updates are then streamed back to the Hypori app as pixels over encrypted network connections. 

With Hypori, multi-tenant organizations can overcome Intune’s enrollment limitations.  

Beyond Multi-Tenant Access – Hypori as a BYOD Enabler 

While Hypori shines as a solution for securing mobile access for multi-tenant organizations, its benefits extend far beyond this specific use case. For organizations exploring Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs, Hypori addresses many challenges that have traditionally hindered adoption. 

Some key benefits include: 

• BYOD cost savings in comparison to managing physical corporate devices: 

• Hardware Refresh Costs 

• Inventory Management 

• Hardware Fulfillment & User Onboarding Speed 

• User Privacy Confidence – organizations can’t see what’s happening on the device, and because data is never stored locally, there’s no risk of a personal device being wiped, confiscated, or subpoenaed. 

• In the event of data spillage, destruction of a virtual device is far less costly than destruction (and reimbursement) of a physical one.  

• Adherence to S.1143 - No TikTok on Government Devices Act with BYOD 

• Reduction in CMMC L2 scoping boundary – limiting which endpoints are assessed against CMMC practices.  

• Use with Foreign Travel, where corporate-owned physical devices would be disallowed.
