Why this Matters Now
You already moved apps and data to the cloud with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other web tools. These apps are designed for the browser. Consumer browsers were built for surfing. Island is a browser built for work, so your people can work from anywhere with the guardrails you expect.
Work-Only Path
Open the work browser for work. Personal apps stay personal.
Policies Live in the Browser
Rules apply only inside Island, not the whole device.
Keep Data Where it Belongs
Prevent downloading sensitive files to personal storage and guide saves to company locations.
Simple for Everyone
Clear sign-in, familiar app windows, and no invasive software installs.
Ask your IT provider to include a BYOD pilot user.

Familiar on Day One
Island is built on the same core technology as Chrome and Edge, so it feels familiar. It supports the same extensions your team knows. Your IT provider can allow the ones you want and block the ones you do not.
Island can open tools like Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, QuickBooks Online, and many web apps in dedicated app windows that look and launch like desktop apps while following your rules.
Most users experience faster performance than heavy desktop apps, especially on older machines.
Works Great with What You Use
Microsoft 365 including Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, SharePoint
Google Workspace including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet
Industry web apps across finance, healthcare, professional services, retail, logistics, construction, legal, and more
If it runs in a browser, Island lets your IT provider guide how people sign in and how data is handled while they work.

Extend device life
Older hardware often feels fast again and refresh cycles can be delayed.
Spend less on new devices
Buy simpler hardware without paying for heavy specs or extra software.
Reduce bloat and issues
A focused device means fewer slowdowns and fewer surprises.
Lower risk and cost
Fewer extras that expand attack surface and drain resources.
Right fit for ownership
Great for company-owned devices. Contractors typically use Island Browser on their own machines.
Protect data where work happens
As people work in Island, clear rules guide access and data handling.
- Choose who can reach which apps from which devices and locations
- Keep sensitive files in company storage and approved locations
- Encourage approved AI and SaaS tools and limit unsanctioned ones
- Record key events so issues can be reviewed and addressed
Even if some roles still need desktop software, Island adds value for the rest of their work in the browser.
Ask your IT provider to include your key apps in the pilot.
See work patterns and improve output
Work-only visibility tied to the work browser helps you coach with facts, not guesswork.
- Understand which work apps people use and for how long during work hours
- Spot bottlenecks, frequent error paths, and process slowdowns to fix what matters
- See adoption of approved tools and reduce time spent in unsanctioned sites
- Track starts, stops, and idle time in the work browser to support scheduling
- Compare teams and roles to identify training needs and best practices
Ask your IT provider to show sample reports during the pilot.

Simplify Without Compromise
Keep what you need. If a few roles need desktop apps, keep them and still simplify for everyone else.
Most pilots take under a week from request to results.
Ask your IT provider to set up a short pilot.
Note: Security outcomes vary by configuration and use. Your IT provider will tailor rules to your requirements.
