Two Years of Failure to Launch vs. 30 Days to Full Compliance
For “The Client” (anonymized), a mid-sized CPA Firm, IT security was a constant source of anxiety. They had invested heavily in a “Digital Transformation” project with a traditional MSP to roll out Microsoft Intune and MFA. Two years later, the project was still unfinished.
The “Zombie Project”
The Client was stuck in adoption purgatory. Their previous provider had taken a manual, consultative approach—holding endless workshops, writing 50-page PDF policies, and attempting to manually configure hundreds of devices.
The results were disastrous:
- Only 45% of devices were actually compliant.
- Partners and Staff found the new security measures intrusive and found workarounds.
- Configuration “drift” meant that devices fixed on Monday were broken again by Friday.
The WaypointX Difference: Governance as Code
We didn’t restart the consulting cycle. We deployed WaypointX Baseline—a pre-validated configuration state that enforces security programmatically.
Deployment, Not Discussion
Instead of debating settings for months, we deployed our standard, proven Intune baseline in 48 hours. This established a “Gold Image” for security that matched CIS benchmarks immediately.
Adoption Monitoring
Implementing the tool is only half the battle. WaypointX includes active monitoring to track User Adoption. We could see exactly which users had enrolled and which were lagging, allowing for targeted support.
Result: 100% Adoption Tracked

WaypointX (30 Days)
By shifting from manual projects to automated baselines, The Client achieved in one month what they couldn’t achieve in two years. The WaypointX monitor now runs 24/7, automatically flagging any device that drifts out of compliance so it can be remediated instantly.
