Security of assets off-premises

There are separate instructions for staff to use mobile devices. The instructions cover:

• restrictions on installing software and using various services on your organization's devices
• procedures for the registration of new devices
• requirements for physical protection of equipment and installation of updates
• access control requirements
• protecting your organization’s data with encryption, malware protection, and backup
• the ability of the organization to remotely control the device

The organization must enable remote wiping on all mobile devices it manages (e.g., phones, laptops, tablets).

Remote wiping can help protect your device and the data it contains in the event of loss or theft. However, remote wiping must be used with extreme caution.

Arranging suitable equipment and storage for teleworking if the use of personal equipment beyond the control of the organization is not permitted.
