Introduction

If you've recently seen a message on your iPad saying: “Compliance policy has not been assigned to this device. You need to update settings on this device.” — you're not alone. This is a common notification for users whose devices are managed through Microsoft Intune or a similar Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. Here's what it means — and how to fix it.

What Is a Compliance Policy?

A compliance policy is a set of rules your organization defines to ensure devices accessing corporate resources meet security standards. These rules might include:

• 🔒 Requiring a passcode
• 🛡️ Enabling encryption
• 📲 Running the latest OS version
• 🚫 Blocking jailbroken devices

If your device doesn’t have a policy assigned, it may be flagged as non-compliant, which can restrict access to apps like Outlook, Teams, or OneDrive.

Why You’re Seeing This Message

There are a few possible reasons:

1. 📱 Your device isn’t fully enrolled in Intune.
2. 📋 The compliance policy hasn’t been assigned to your device yet.
3. ⚙️ You need to update your settings to meet the policy requirements.

How to Fix It

Here’s a quick checklist to get your device back in compliance:

Need Help?

If you're still stuck, reach out to your IT support team. They may need to manually assign a compliance policy to your device or re-enroll it in Intune.
