No Worries KiWi 

Regarding Presence, Partitioned Intra-Domain Federation supports two-way
IM and Presence so you should be covered there. Regarding your security
concerns, this can also be done. For example, you can achieve
Multi-Factor Authentication out of the box using SAML SSO products (ADFS
3.0 and OpenAM both support MFA) which is supported over Expressway. If
using Client Certificates for said authentication, you could have an MDM
solution like Mobile Iron be the only way to distribute the certificates
using SCEP. DDoS protection can always be achieved by ASA or 3rd Party
Firewall.

They wanted every client authenticating via expressway to be MDM managed. This is not available today and SFB apparently have a lot of 3rd party applications doing this. One of them is skypeshield which I found online.
