Device Security Policy
Company: [Company Name] · Effective Date: [Date]
Purpose
This policy protects company data accessed or stored on devices used for work, whether company-issued or personal (BYOD).
Required Security Measures
All devices used for work must have: a passcode/biometric lock, up-to-date operating system and security patches, full-disk encryption where supported, and [approved antivirus/endpoint protection, if required].
Company-Issued Devices
[Ownership, acceptable use, and expectations for return upon termination.]
Personal Devices (BYOD)
[If personal devices access company systems: describe required security app/MDM enrollment, and Company's right to remote-wipe company data (not personal data) if the device is lost or the employee leaves.]
Public Wi-Fi
Employees should use a VPN when accessing company systems on public Wi-Fi, or avoid sensitive work on unsecured networks.
Lost or Stolen Devices
Report a lost or stolen device to [IT contact] immediately so access can be revoked.
Prohibited
Devices used for work may not be [jailbroken/rooted], and company data should not be stored on unapproved personal cloud storage.
Acknowledged by: ______________________ Date: ____________
*Being specific that a remote wipe only removes COMPANY data/apps (not personal photos) on a BYOD device is what actually gets employee buy-in for this policy — vague wipe language creates unnecessary resistance.*
