Mobile application management (MAM).

  1. Full device enrollment and wipe
  2. A factory reset policy
  3. Mobile application management (MAM) ✔

Why: MAM manages the work apps and the data inside them, not the rest of the phone. It is typical for personal devices in BYOD setups. Full device MDM manages the whole device instead.

Huh, didn't know that: Microsoft says MAM can also run alongside MDM on corporate-owned devices.
