Microsoft Intune

Efficient asset management is a cornerstone of privacy and compliance operations. Our integration with Microsoft Intune enables seamless synchronization of managed assets into Kertos, saving time and ensuring your asset inventory is always accurate and up-to-date. This guide will walk you through the setup and management process for the Microsoft Intune integration.

Important:
You must have sufficient admin permissions in your Azure Active Directory (AAD) and Intune environment to complete this setup.
Without these permissions, you won’t be able to register an app, create client secrets, or grant API permissions.

How to Enable Intune Integration in Kertos

  • Go to the Integrations page in Kertos.
  • Click Setup in the Microsoft Intune Integration card.
  • You will be prompted to choose between two setup options:
  • SSO Login (automatic setup) — Kertos handles authentication and configuration for you.
  • Manual setup (least-privilege approach) — follow the detailed steps below.

Step 2: Register an Application in Azure

  • Sign in to the Azure Portal with your Intune admin account.
  • Navigate to App registrations or go directly to:

  • Copy the Value of the new client secret immediately.
  • Paste it into the Secret Value field in Kertos.

  • Click Save to complete setup.
