INTRODUCTION 

Protect managed mobile devices wherever they go

Ripple MobileShield keeps your employees safe online, wherever they use their corporate phones and tablets. 

It’s built for field-based teams, remote workers and any organisation whose employees spend significant time away from a fixed location. 

Proactive: Real-time crisis intervention and signposting to mental health support. 

Integrated: Works as an app installed on the managed device through your organisation’s existing Mobile Device Management platform. 

Seamless: Always on, whether the device is connected to your office Wi-Fi, home broadband, or mobile data anywhere in the world. 

For corporate and managed devices only.

MobileShield is available exclusively for phones and tablets enrolled in and managed by your organisation's MDM platform. It cannot be installed on personal devices. Organisations requiring protection for unmanaged personal devices connecting to their network should consider Ripple NetworkShield.

WHO IS IT FOR 

For organisations with managed mobile devices 

MobileShield is available on subscription for any organisation that issues or manages phones or tablets through an MDM platform and wants to extend Ripple protection beyond the office network.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps that can save a life

Step 1

Protection 

Once installed via your MDM platform, MobileShield runs silently on the device whether on Wi-Fi, mobile data or any other connection, monitoring Internet traffic. In cloud proxy mode with decryption enabled, it identifies harmful search queries typed into any search engine or browser. In DNS mode, it detects and intercepts attempts to reach known harmful websites.

Step 2

Intervention 

When a harmful search is identified, a calmly presented, non-judgemental intervention screen appears on the device. Designed in consultation with mental health clinicians and people with lived experience, it offers a message of hope and support pathways.

Step 3

Support 

Support options include 24/7 helplines and local mental health resources. They cover both immediate crisis help and longer-term services, giving people the best possible chance of finding the right help for them.

KEY BENEFITS 

Why organisations choose

Protection that travels with the device

While NetworkShield protects devices on your network, MobileShield protects the device itself, on mobile data, on home broadband, in a coffee shop or anywhere else your people work. The person is protected, not just the location. 

Deployed through your existing MDM

MobileShield is installed and managed through Microsoft Intune, JAMF or any MDM platform your organisation already uses. There is no new management console to learn and no additional infrastructure to maintain. 

Silent and unobtrusive

The app runs entirely in the background. There are no visible icons, no notifications and no drain on battery or performance in normal use. Users are unaware of it day to day, which reduces stigma and supports natural behaviour.

90+ harmful content categories

Covers self-harm and suicide plus over 90 additional categories, including illegal and illicit content. Individual categories can be configured to suit your organisation.

Works alongside NetworkShield

MobileShield and NetworkShield are designed to operate together without conflict. When a MobileShield-protected device connects to a NetworkShield-protected network, both products remain active and there is no double filtering or interference.

Same intervention, same privacy promise

The intervention screen and all privacy protections are identical across the Ripple product range. No personally identifiable information is collected. No individual activations are reported. The intervention is between the tool and the person in crisis.
