In an era where cyber threats evolve daily and regulatory compliance is non-negotiable, businesses need more than off-the-shelf IT solutions. At TechLease, we ensure your Acer TravelMate and Extensa devices are not just powerful tools but secure, compliant, and productivity-optimized assets. Our Advanced and Enterprise plans leverage VMware Workspace ONE for unified endpoint management (UEM) and Prey for anti-theft tracking, providing layered security and customization that adapts to your business needs.
Why Configuration Matters
Modern workplaces demand flexibility without compromising security. Whether your team works remotely, in-office, or hybrid, TechLease pre-configures devices to:
- Eliminate setup delays.
- Enforce compliance with industry regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).
- Reduce IT overhead through automation.
Core Configuration Features
1. Custom Image Deployment
Every Acer TravelMate or Extensa device leased through TechLease arrives preloaded with a company-specific image, ensuring consistency across your fleet.
- What’s Included:
- OS & Drivers: Windows 10/11 or Linux, optimized for Acer hardware.
- Pre-Installed Software: Microsoft 365, VPN clients, or industry-specific tools (e.g., AutoCAD, EHR systems).
- Workspace ONE Integration: Devices are automatically enrolled in your UEM portal, enabling zero-touch deployment.
- Advanced Plan: Add department-specific software bundles (e.g., finance teams get QuickBooks; developers get VS Code).
- Enterprise Plan: Multi-OS support (Windows, macOS, Linux) with automated provisioning for virtual desktops.
2. BIOS Management
TechLease locks down hardware vulnerabilities by customizing Acer’s BIOS settings:
- Secure Boot: Prevents unauthorized OS installations.
- Firmware Updates: Automated patches via Workspace ONE to mitigate exploits like Spectre/Meltdown.
- Hardware-Level Security: TPM 2.0 activation for encryption and BIOS passwords to deter physical tampering.
3. Data Leak Protection (DLP)
Data is your most valuable asset—and biggest liability if exposed. TechLease combines encryption, access controls, and monitoring to keep it safe.
- Encryption:
- Full-Disk Encryption (FDE): BitLocker (Windows) or FileVault (macOS) enabled by default.
- Enterprise Plan: Adds AES-256 encryption for external drives and cloud storage syncing.
- Workspace ONE Policies:
- Block USB Drives: Restrict unauthorized storage devices.
- Clipboard Controls: Prevent copying sensitive data to unapproved apps.
- Watermarking: Automatically label confidential documents with user/device IDs.
- Prey Anti-Theft Integration:
- Remote Wipe: Erase data from lost/stolen devices with one click.
- Geofencing: Trigger alerts if devices leave predefined zones (e.g., office, country).
4. Compliance and Auditing
TechLease simplifies compliance with built-in reporting and automated enforcement:
- Standard Reports: Generate audit trails for regulatory submissions.
- Workspace ONE Intelligence (Enterprise): Real-time dashboards for tracking encryption status, patch compliance, and user activity.
- GDPR/HIPAA Templates: Pre-configured policies to meet regional or industry requirements.
