What is Swif?
Swif.ai is a unified MDM (Mobile Device Management) software and security platform that helps teams manage endpoints, detect Shadow IT and AI usage, and maintain continuous compliance across MacOS, Windows, and Linux, with support for Android and iOS as well. Unlike traditional MDM software that focuses only on device configuration, Swif.ai combines device management with real-time Shadow IT and AI discovery, policy enforcement, and compliance visibility in a single platform.
Key features include Unified Device Management for managing macOS, Windows, and Linux devices from a single console, Shadow IT detection that identifies SaaS applications, browser extensions, and AI tools used without IT approval, and automated compliance mapping to frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CIS benchmarks. The platform offers silent installers for Mac and Windows, remote monitoring with live terminal access, smart groups, self-service portal, Windows Autopilot, Apple Business Manager integration for zero-touch enrollment, and BYOD support.
Swif.ai is designed for enterprise teams, fintech companies, healthtech organizations, IT managers, and MSPs who need to manage device fleets securely while maintaining compliance. It helps teams get approximately 30% of compliance controls done in just 5 minutes without scripts, spreadsheets, or IT tickets, and can cut audit prep time by up to 80% while providing real AI-tool visibility.

Frequently asked questions about Swif
What problem does Swif.ai solve that an MDM or XDR alone can't?
Traditional MDM software focuses on device configuration only. Swif.ai combines device management with real-time Shadow IT and AI discovery, policy enforcement, and compliance visibility in a single platform. It detects unauthorized SaaS applications, browser extensions, and AI tools used without IT approval, while continuously monitoring device posture and mapping controls to compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.
Which operating systems and browsers do you support?
Swif.ai supports macOS, Windows, and Linux as primary platforms. Mobile support includes iOS, iPadOS, and Android. For Linux, it supports major distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, Arch, Rocky Linux, NixOS, and Universal Blue.
How fast can we see value after deploying Swif.ai?
Most teams complete onboarding in minutes, with full rollout typically completed within a day. Swif helps teams get approximately 30% of compliance controls done in just 5 minutes without scripts, spreadsheets, or IT tickets. Most teams can generate audit-ready device evidence within 24 hours of deployment.
Does Swif.ai replace my compliance tool (e.g., Vanta/Drata)?
No. Swif.ai complements audit platforms by providing real-time device evidence that can be exported to tools like Vanta or Drata. It tracks security compliance across devices and automates device compliance and auditing, but works alongside existing compliance tools rather than replacing them.
Is our data secure and where is it stored?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Enterprise customers can choose US or EU data residency. Raw usage data remains on-device, and only required metadata is sent to the cloud, minimizing data exposure.
What happens if an employee uses an unauthorized AI tool?
Swif.ai can alert IT, notify the user with an on-screen policy message, or automatically block the tool based on configured rules preset with the policy bot. The platform detects AI usage at the device and browser level, providing real-time visibility into generative AI tools and platforms.
Can Swif.ai automate account provisioning and de-provisioning without an SSO?
Yes. Swif.ai can be used with or without an identity provider. It supports directory sync and SCIM provisioning with major identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, and Google, but does not require an SSO to function.
How is Swif.ai priced?
Swif.ai is priced per employee with Free, Lite, Basic, Growth, and Enterprise plans available. The Free plan supports up to 2 employees with basic device management and visibility features. The Lite plan is designed for companies with large fleets that only need basic MDM functionality. Discounts are available for nonprofits, educational organizations, and Y Combinator startups.
Do you offer MSP or white-label options?
Yes. Enterprise plans include multi-tenant capabilities suitable for MSPs and large organizations managing multiple environments. Swif.ai also offers a specific MSP Program for service providers.
