Deployment Guide

This section covers production deployment strategies for Aquilon DLP, from single workstation installations to enterprise-wide fleet deployments.

Deployment Options

Single Node

Manual installation on individual machines. Best for:

• Personal use and evaluation
• Small teams (< 10 machines)
• Development and testing environments

MDM Deployment

Automated deployment via Mobile Device Management. Best for:

• Enterprise macOS fleets
• Automated compliance enforcement
• Zero-touch provisioning

Covers: Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Kandji, and generic MDM platforms.

Enterprise Deployment

Large-scale deployment planning and fleet management. Best for:
