Part 1: What is Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP)

The Device Enrollment Program (DEP) helps organizations easily deploy and configure Apple devices, including iPad, iPhone, Mac and Apple TV. DEP gives administrators remote supervision and control of devices through MDM registration and setup. All iOS, macOS and tvOS devices added to DEP are automatically enrolled in MDM.

As a supervised device, it will have features and restrictions that are not present normally. For instance, the MDM server can remotely wipe, lock, or monitor supervised devices. And it also allows administrators to turn off iMessages or set web content filtering.
