Locate every device. Beat every breach. Ace every audit.
Prey is a device management and endpoint security platform for IT teams. Track, lock, wipe, and manage every laptop, tablet, and phone across six operating systems from one dashboard.
Managing devices shouldn't keep you up at night
IT teams face challenges that grow alongside their fleet. Sound familiar?
Lack of fleet visibility
How many devices do you actually manage? Where are they right now? Without a centralized system, blind spots multiply and become a latent risk.
Data exposure risk
A missing laptop can mean thousands of exposed records. Without the ability to act remotely, your vulnerability window grows by the minute.
Growing legal pressure
New data protection regulations demand proof of control over your devices. Without evidence of management, fines and legal liability land on your team.
Everything your fleet needs,
without unnecessary bulk
Four core strengths. One platform. Built for the way IT actually works.
Always-on, full fleet visibility
Ongoing GPS and Wi-Fi triangulation across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and Chromebook. Set geofences, get instant alerts, and reconstruct movement when devices go off-script.
Active GPS + Wi-Fi tracking. No more on demand and delayed pings.
Location history. Logs device movements going back up to a year.*
Geofences. Safe perimeters with custom automatic actions and alerts.
From exposure to containment in just a few clicks

“The product has helped us meet our geolocation needs, control the equipment, and improve security in its management."
Have an MDM? Add the tracking layer you're missing
Intune, Jamf, NinjaOne are policy engines.
They can't tell you where every device is right now, hand auditors proof of a wipe, or watch the dark web for leaked credentials.
Active tracking. Nonstop device visibility with auto-saving logs and map views
Beyond the device. Weekly dark web monitoring reports that standard MDMs don't provide.
Intruder-resistant encryption. BitLocker makes stolen Windows devices completely unreadable.
Audit-ready evidence. Verified location stamps and the logs you need to validate compliance.
Built for teams navigating:
HIPAA | FERPA | GDPR | ISO 27001 | PCI
"I love Prey's ease of use, lightweight nature, and superior mapping capabilities compared to Intune."

"We like (Prey) because it's outside of our MDM platforms. So if they do become disconnected from Intune or Jamf, Prey still works."

Frequently asked questions about Prey
Prey is an endpoint security and device management platform for IT and security teams. It tracks, locks, wipes, and inventories laptops, tablets, and phones from one dashboard, and monitors the dark web for leaked company credentials. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and Chromebook.
Prey is a device management and endpoint security platform. It covers the management work IT teams do every day: hardware and software inventory, security automations, mass actions, device loans, and audit logs, together with tracking, remote lock, and remote wipe. Teams that already use Microsoft Intune or Jamf can run Prey next to it.
Prey installs as a separate lightweight agent, so it keeps reporting even if a device drops out of your MDM. Your MDM keeps handling policies and configuration, while Prey adds always-on location tracking, Control Zones with automatic actions, Recovery Reports, and weekly dark web monitoring. Nothing in your current MDM setup needs to change.
Prey supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and Chromebook under a single account. Available actions vary by operating system. For example, BitLocker encryption management and remote factory reset apply to Windows devices.
You can mark the device as missing to locate it with GPS and Wi-Fi triangulation, lock it remotely, and wipe specific files or the whole device. Prey also generates Recovery Reports with location, screenshots, and camera photos, and logs every action with a timestamp so you can show auditors what was done and when.
Yes, at the device level. Prey gives you an up-to-date device inventory, encryption status, location history, and a log of every lock and wipe, which is the evidence auditors ask for under frameworks such as HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI. Prey does not make an organization compliant on its own; it documents the endpoint controls those frameworks require.
Prey Breach Monitoring scans the dark web for credentials tied to your company's email domain and reports them weekly. Each finding gets a severity score of Low, High, or Critical, so your team knows which accounts to reset first. A first scan of your domain is free.
Prey is priced per device, with plans listed at preyproject.com/pricing. There is no free plan. You can request a free 14-day trial with full feature access, which the Prey team sets up with you and can extend to one month.
