While many organizations that adopt the bring-your-own-device approach support the practice with a BYOD policy and remote work policy, there is still a chance the practice can lead to security issues such as data leakage, malicious apps, device infection, and the potential risks associated with device loss or theft.

The purpose of this customizable policy, written by Franklin Okeke for TechRepublic Premium, is to establish guidelines for the remote management and wiping of personal devices used in a BYOD program. This policy aims to ensure the protection of sensitive company data in the event of security breaches, device loss, theft, or termination of employment or contract.

Featured text from the policy:

DEVICE ENROLLMENT

Employees are required to adhere to a standard device enrollment process, usually contained in the BYOD policy, to ensure the secure integration of their devices into the organization’s remote management framework. This process involves:

Downloading and installing the designated management application from the organization’s authorized source.

Configuring the application settings as per the provided guidelines to establish a secure connection between the device and the management system.

Granting necessary permissions, including access to relevant device information and features required for effective remote management.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

Device enrollment is available for a range of platforms to accommodate varying work preferences and needs. These platforms encompass smartphones, tablets, laptops, and operating systems, including but not limited to iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.
