That is something you need to discuss with the IT department which is managing your laptop.
If this is a personal laptop purchased through your employer or school, then you must contact their IT department to have the laptop removed from their MDM unless it is required to be managed while using it on their network or for business.
If this is personal laptop purchased used, then you are not in control of this laptop because it is still being managed by the previous owner. If you just purchased this laptop, then return it for a full refund since the laptop was not properly prepared for sale and there is nothing you can do to remove the MDM management unless the previous owner is willing to remove the MDM management from the laptop (assuming the laptop was not stolen from a previous owner & sold to you unawares). In addition for a previous owner to remove the device from their MDM, the previous owner should also have performed all of the following steps:

"Required managed update notification" - Apple Community
" Thanks for this. I tried this and YES, it works! I think it's the answer to this annoying problem .... This is the procedure I followed ...
Now, the annoying message which was coming every day is no longer there and everything seems fine. I did this a few days ago and have used the computer a lot since and there don't seem to be any problems and the message no longer appears. "
I bought this MacBook Pro new in 2017 new, directly from Apple or from B&H PhotoVideo in NYC, an authorized Apple reseller. (All of my Apple products were so sourced.) It has never been out of my possession and has been little used. Until the most recent year or so, I never encountered a problem installing Apple's managed updates or, indeed, any other updates.
Is it possible to review the history of the managed updates that have been installed? Are they specific to each edition of the OS?
Look forward to your updated excellent advice.
