• receiving a report of a non-conformance event at the managed computing device, wherein the non-conformance event indicates that the managed computing device is violating one or more organizational policies;
• and
• in response to the receipt of the reporting of the non-conformance event, restricting operation of the work profile of the managed computing device by locking the settings, applications or programs associated with or owned by the organization without impacting the settings, applications and programs of the personal profile.

A managed computing device, comprising:

• a display configured to at least display messages;
• a communications stack configured to receive communication signals from and transmit communication signals to a management platform;

• a processor, wherein the processor is communicatively coupled to the communications stack and the display and is operable to:
• monitor one or more parameters of the managed computing device for compliance with one or more policies of an organization, wherein the organizational policies include limitations on the managed computing device, wherein the managed computing device has a work profile that includes settings, applications and programs associated with or owned by the organization and a personal profile that includes settings, applications and programs associated with a personal lifestyle of or owned by a user of the managed computing device;
• detect a non-conformance event associated with the operation of the managed computing device, wherein the non-conformance event violates one or more organizational policies;
• and
• in response to the detection of the non-conformance event, restrict operation of the work profile of the managed computing device by locking the settings, applications or programs associated with or owned by the organization without impacting the settings, applications and programs of the personal profile.
