Apple's New Enterprise Controls: A Practical Guide for HR Teams

The September 2025 updates from Apple bring enterprise features that allow Human Resources teams to have more control over both the tools used in AI and the devices used in their work. These are changes made for very real workplace reasons—mostly security, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Better Control Over AI Access

IT administrators can now easily control whether or not company devices use ChatGPT for Enterprise. This applies not just to OpenAI, but to any external AI provider your organization might select.

For HR teams, this means you can:

• Establish distinct borders for which AI tools can interface with employee information.

• Experiment with new AI programs in a controlled way before exposing the whole company to them.

Choosing Where AI Processing Happens

Organizations can now determine if AI functions on Apple devices or in the cloud. This choice has important implications for HR:

• Local processing: Best for sensitive activities like performance reviews or disciplinary documentation. When data stays on the device, privacy is maximized.

• Cloud processing: Suited for larger, power-hungry tasks such as analyzing employee survey sentiment or handling large-scale recruiting data.

This flexibility allows HR teams to align security needs with the optimal processing method.

Additional Enterprise Features That Help HR

Apple is expanding its range of tools to make the daily work of HR smoother—and, in some cases, more automated.

Highlights include:

• Apple Business Manager API – Connects HR systems (payroll, ATS, onboarding) directly with Apple’s device setup workflows.

• Common Industry Passwords – Added to Apple’s security framework, raising baseline security standards.

• Enhanced device migration – Simplifies setting up devices for new hires and reconfiguring them when employees exit.

• Vision Pro support – Enables immersive training sessions and presentations.

• Advanced Shared Mac features – Secure Guest Mode and NFC login make shared workstations private and safe.

These updates reduce the administrative work tied to both bringing on new employees and managing offboarding transitions.

Strategic Considerations for HR Leaders

• Collaborate with IT to define which AI tasks run locally vs. in the cloud, balancing privacy with performance.

• Run pilot programs to evaluate AI tools with small teams before rolling out company-wide.

• Streamline transitions using enhanced device setup and shared workstation features.

• Stay vendor-flexible with multiple AI provider support—choose the best tool for the job.

• Reduce admin overhead by automating device management, freeing HR to focus on strategy.

Apple’s enterprise updates can solve many HR tech challenges. With stronger security controls, flexible AI integration, and simplified device management, there’s a real opportunity to reduce friction and elevate HR’s impact.

The key takeaway: Work with IT to create policies, start small with pilots, and align AI tools with existing HR workflows. This ensures adoption is smooth, compliant, and strategically valuable.

• Tailored AI strategy assessments – pinpoint where automation will save you the most time and money

• Custom-built automated workflows – crafted around your processes, not one-size-fits-all templates

• Done-for-you implementation – no code, no new hires, no wasted time

• Work with one person thru the whole process

If you’re stuck doing repetitive tasks that AI could handle, it’s time to stop testing and start automating.

• Scroll-Stopping Ads: design high-converting visuals

• Hyperrealistic AI Images: generate photo-quality visuals tailored to your brand, product mockups, and lifestyle shots in seconds.
