Sign Up & Create Your Organization

Let's get your GuardMDM account set up. You'll be up and running in under two minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Navigate to app.guardmdm.com/signup. You have two options:

Method	How it works
Email & Password	Enter your work email, choose a password (min. 8 characters), and you're in
Google OAuth	Click "Sign in with Google" — no extra password to remember

Both methods create the same account. Pick whichever you prefer.

Tip: Use a company email address. It makes inviting teammates and managing billing simpler later.

Step 2: Create Your Organization

After signing up, you'll be prompted to create an Organization (also called a tenant). This is your isolated workspace inside GuardMDM — all your devices, groups, and blueprints live here.

You'll need to provide:

• Organization name — A recognizable name for your company or team (e.g., "Acme Corp IT")
• Industry — Helps us tailor default settings (optional)

Tip: Choose an organization name that will still make sense if your team grows or re-brands. You can change it later in Settings > Organization, but picking a good one now saves a step.

Step 3: Explore the Dashboard

Once your organization is created, you land on the Dashboard. This is your command center. Here's what you'll see:

Section	What it shows
Device Stats	Total enrolled devices, online/offline count, pending actions
OS Distribution	A breakdown of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS versions across your fleet
Quick Links	Shortcuts to common tasks: Enroll Device, Create Blueprint, Invite Team Members
Recent Activity	The latest enrollments, commands, and configuration changes

Don't worry if most numbers are zero right now — that changes once you enroll your first device.

What's Next?

Your account is ready, but before you can manage devices, GuardMDM needs to establish a trusted connection with Apple's push notification service. That's where the APNs certificate comes in.
