Where the device belongs to the user.

WHAT THE TENSION IS

The organisation needs its data protected; the user's personal data must not be exposed or erased.

WHAT USER ENROLMENT PROVIDES

Separation of organisational and personal data on the same device.

WHAT THE ORGANISATION CAN DO

Manage its own applications and accounts Enforce policy on its own data Remove its data

WHAT IT CANNOT DO

See personal applications and data Erase the device Access personal photographs, messages or location

WHY THAT MATTERS

It makes enrolment acceptable to users, which is what makes it work.

WHAT TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY

Exactly what the organisation can and cannot see.

WHY

Assumptions otherwise are worse than the reality, and refusal follows.

WHAT TO ESTABLISH IN POLICY

What data may be accessed on personal devices What happens when someone leaves

What is required: passcode, encryption, current version

WHAT TO DOCUMENT AND HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED

All of it.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

Whether the organisation should simply provide devices instead.
