Subject: Re: Cell Phone Policies
It is a requirement from our corporate security and legal to show that
we
are fulfilling our regulatory obligations regarding data. You and I
know
that someone can do any number of deliberate things. A lawyer in a
court
room can point to any number of other things.
So you're saying that it's a security requirement even though the company
realizes that it actually provides verly little security? Or in other
words, it's pretty much just for show.
If we can remote wipe a phone as part of our account termination process
with corporate phones and we control the phone, why wouldn't we wipe an
end
users personal phone upon empolyee termination (voluntary or otherwise)?
Because
a) it's a *personal* phone?
and
b) Everybody, including your employees, realize that this draconian policy
accomplishes absolutely nothing.
You're going to recall a corporate phone in any case. Why wouldn't you
wipe it clean? That's no different than reimaging the hard drive of a
corporate PC before giving it to another employee or cleaing out the
drawers of a desk.
This ensures the employee doesn't accidently retain things they
shouldn't.
What was the answer to the first question? Do you permit employees to
download and reply to email on their home computers? If so, what is the
company policy to the messages/data that end up on those computers? How do
you "ensure" that employees don't accidentally retain the data?
