Hi Everyone,

at the moment, We are trying to meet NIST 800-171 level 2 requirements and one of the issues we have ran into with implementing a MDM software is Whatsapp. Whatsapp is used as our form of communication within our organization. I see this is possibly causing an issue with meeting requirements because I know whatsApp messages and calls are encrypted but i know they have been proned to be hacked. Another issue I see with continuing to use whatsapp is the fact that we do not provide the accounts for Whatsapp. Everyone in our organization either is using their own accounts or creaing accounts most likely with their private information. Has anyone encountered this type of issue and could provide a work around or has anyone tried to meet the requirements with Whatsapp and how did you accomplish locking it down. Maybe through MDM? Also if anyone can provide me feedback with a MDM solution you are currently using that will work with BYOD, APPLE, ANDROID and won't break the bank. I would really like to hear your suggestions. Currently, I am working with ManageEngine MDM and seems like a really good option but if you have any other ones for me to try. I would be really appreciatative.
