A Faster, Cleaner Swif Experience
Hi everyone,
We’ve shipped a set of updates focused on making Swif faster to navigate, easier to understand, and more powerful for IT and security teams.
This release includes a major UI refresh across dashboards and device views, new browser controls for sensitive data, better macOS onboarding automation, temporary admin elevation, smarter user groups, and improvements to Swif’s free GRC software flow.
Here’s what’s new.
Redesigned Dashboards and Device Views
We’ve refreshed several core parts of Swif to make day-to-day device and compliance work easier.
The new dashboard experience includes cleaner KPI cards, improved device platform charts, better risk-score visibility by app, clearer loading and empty states, and improved accessibility across the interface.
👉 Dashboard Redesign v3

We also revamped the Compliance Dashboard with updated widgets for compliance status, compliant devices by OS, top compliance gaps, completion status by control type, and devices added vs. compliant devices over time.
👉 Compliance Dashboard Revamped
For employees, the portal now has a more enrollment-first experience, including a clearer “Your devices” view with last seen and encryption status.

Device Details also received a major refresh. Overview and Specs are now easier to scan, with key fields like assigned user, compliance status, encryption, last connected, OS version, ownership type, hardware, network, and support details organized more clearly.
👉 Redesigned Device Details: Overview & Specs
We also redesigned Device Details tabs and tables across Accounts, Commands, Apps, Policies, Device Groups, Profiles, and Updates, with improved sorting, filtering, and readability.

What this means for IT teams:
You can get to the right information faster, understand device and compliance posture more clearly, and reduce the time spent digging through device data.
New Browser Controls for PII, Sensitive Apps, and File Uploads
Swif’s browser extension now includes new controls to help teams monitor sensitive activity and reduce data exposure risk.
This release introduces three major capabilities:
PII Tracking
Swif can detect and track PII activity in AI tools and web apps using admin-defined rules. Admins can scope monitoring by user group, app or domain, and activity type such as prompts, file uploads, or both.
Sensitive App Prolonged Activity Tracking
Admins can define sensitive apps or domains and detect when users spend extended time in those environments. This helps teams identify unusual or sustained access to high-risk systems like CRMs, payment tools, HR platforms, or data rooms.
File Upload Restriction
Swif can now restrict file uploads to specific domains through browser-based enforcement, with blocked upload activity visible in the Shadow IT dashboard.
What this means for security teams:
You get more visibility into where sensitive data may be going, especially across SaaS apps and AI tools, while keeping controls policy-based and manageable.
Automatic Device Account Provisioning for ADE-Enrolled Macs
Swif now supports automatic default account provisioning for macOS devices enrolled through Apple Automated Device Enrollment.
Admins can enable account setup under Device Enrollment Configuration, define a default username and password, and apply it automatically to ADE-enrolled macOS devices. The feature also checks for Apple password policy requirements before saving.
What this means for IT teams:
Mac onboarding becomes more consistent, less manual, and easier to standardize across new devices.
Temporary Admin Access from Swif DeskApp
Employees can now request temporary local admin access directly from Swif DeskApp when allowed by policy.
IT can configure supported operating systems, device scope, maximum session duration, frequency limits, and cooldowns. Employees see how long the admin session can last, enter a reason, and automatically return to standard-user access when the session ends. Admins can review elevation history from Device Details.
What this means for IT and security teams:
You can support developer and power-user workflows without giving employees permanent admin rights.
Smarter User Groups with ALL / ANY Rule Logic
Smart User Groups now support grouped conditions with ALL / ANY logic.
This makes it easier to build more precise user groups using AND / OR-style rules, including nested groups with multiple conditions. Existing flat rules continue to work as a single ALL group, so legacy smart groups remain compatible.
What this means for IT teams:
You can target policies, apps, automation, and compliance workflows more accurately across teams and user segments.
Introducing Free GRC Software by Swif
Compliance should not require another expensive, complex platform just to get started.
That’s why we’re launching free GRC software by Swif.
Our goal is to make compliance more accessible for growing teams that need to organize controls, track requirements, and prepare for audits without relying on spreadsheets or disconnected workflows.
Because Swif already manages device security and compliance evidence across your endpoints, GRC becomes a natural next step: enforce the control, collect the evidence, and manage the compliance workflow from one place.
What this means for teams:
You can start building a stronger compliance program earlier, without waiting until audit pressure forces a scramble.
Closing
These updates are part of our continued focus on helping IT and security teams move faster while keeping devices, data, and compliance under control.
Thanks for building with us.
