## What it is
Stethoscope is a web application that collects device data from sources like JAMF, LANDESK, and G Suite mobile management and presents employees with personalized, specific recommendations for securing their devices. It has a Python back-end, a React front-end, and a plugin architecture for adding data sources and security practices.

## Use cases
- check whether employee laptops have disk encryption enabled
- give employees personalized security recommendations for their devices
- aggregate device posture data from JAMF and LANDESK
- detect jailbroken or rooted mobile devices
- verify screen lock and firewall status across a fleet
- self-host an internal user-focused security dashboard

## When to choose
- you run an enterprise MDM like JAMF or LANDESK and want user-facing security feedback
- you want to nudge employees to fix their own device security issues
- you need a plugin-based tool to merge device records from multiple sources

## When to avoid
- you need automated remediation rather than recommendations
- your device data sources are not among the supported plugins and you cannot write one
- you need actively developed software with recent community activity
