When was the last time you looked into your organisation’s mobile device policy?
Knowing your policies is critical because the way we work has changed over the last few years. As hybrid work, BYOD, and AI tools become everyday realities, businesses need a policy that reflects how devices are actually used — across time zones, apps, and networks.
So, if you want to stay compliant, productive, and threat-free, revisit your policies, from your BYOD policy to what’s in your device security policy.
A mobile device policy defines how corporate and personal devices are used in a business context. More than a step-by-step manual, it’s a framework of responsibilities and expectations covering:
Without clear policy guidelines, every device becomes not an asset but a security gap that’s open to exploitation.
Many older policies were written for a time before BYOD, remote work, AI tools, or unsecured messaging apps entered the picture. Today, hybrid work environments mean more devices in more locations — and often with fewer controls.
Employees are now able to use their own smartphones to access email, cloud drives, and CRMs. Worse yet, AI applications and social media blur the line between personal and professional tools.
Without a hybrid work device policy, your business may be exposed to breaches, data loss, or compliance failures.
A strong mobile device policy addresses both security and productivity. Under the Essential Eight Framework for devices, a policy should include:
Device risks evolve quickly. AI agents now pose new threats to data security and identity spoofing. Messaging habits shift. New phones and platforms enter the workplace every year.
Aligning your policy with standards like the Essential Eight or ISO 27001 helps protect against growing threats. Annual reviews ensure your policy reflects current realities and incorporates insights from IT, HR, legal, and employees on the ground.
