How much company data do you store on your smartphone? How much company data do your employee’s store on their smartphones?
When it comes to mobile device security, it’s usually an afterthought. However, more company data and business are now being done on mobile devices than ever before.
You’ll learn in the next 5 minutes some of the easiest things you can do to secure your company smartphones.
Do you have a transparent process if your CEO has their device stolen or lost?
I’m going to disclose the best course of action to stay protected if you’re ever in this scenario. Read on to find out some of the best practices.
Most modern phones have basic security settings inbuilt now. Things like fingerprint/face ID are standard, but there is some setting that can be easily overlooked.
Make sure you turn on find my device and device encryption as standard. If a mobile device gets into the wrong hands, and a device does not have encryption, the contents can easily be read using simple tools.
If your current IT provider has not mentioned this to you already, it is a must for any size business. Mobile device management (MDM) allows your IT provider to manage all devices in your company.
There are many features MDM offers – we don’t have time to list them all but here’s the top 3:
Lost Mode:
If a device is lost or stolen, it can easily be blocked, tracked, and a message sent to the screen for recovery.
Audit and log:
A list of everyday activities such as connecting to wifi, apps that are installed and an audit database of all IMEI/serial numbers are generated.
This data is fantastic from both a regulatory point of view and for managing devices on a day to day basis.
Security Enforcement:
MDM allows the business to enforce strict security policies on the device.
As an example, you can turn on features such as enforcing fingerprint ID or locking the phone if too many attempts have been made at guessing the PIN. You can also encrypt the device with a single click.
If you don’t have an MDM solution for your business or are unclear about what you may have, then schedule a security audit with us.
Picture the worst thing that could happen to your company, mobiles. Maybe one day, the CEO drops their phone in the back of a taxi.
What do you do? What does your IT company do?
Well, it’s better to be prepared for the worst, so the first thing I’d suggest is having a transparent process of action if a device is lost or stolen.
Of course, we make this process sounds easy, but how do you go about it and get started? Well, our IT company provides fully managed services so you can get on with your business.
