Mobile Device Policy Template
A mobile device policy template defining the standards, procedures and restrictions for company-supplied devices, and the limits on using personally owned devices for work purposes.
The policy has Approved By and Date Approved fields and carries a Public information classification, so it can be shared with workers, clients and other interested parties.
What the Mobile Device Policy Covers
- Scope - laptops, notebooks and tablets, mobile phones and smartphones, and any mobile device that stores data and connects to a network
- Registration - devices registered and approved before first use on the network
- Passwords - devices protected by a strong password, with reference to the password policy
- Applications and security software - no unapproved applications, security software installed, and applications kept up to date
- Physical security - reasonable measures to protect devices
- Loss, theft and incidents - reported immediately so access can be blocked and, where possible, the device wiped remotely
- Personal use - limited personal use of company devices where it does not breach other policies
- Retention - information deleted from devices when no longer required
- Personal devices - not used for business purposes or for personal, operational or confidential information
- Enforcement - the consequences of not following the policy
Checked Against Cyber Essentials
The IT policies in the range have been checked against the Cyber Essentials requirements, so their rules on passwords, devices, access and updates do not contradict what a Cyber Essentials assessment asks for.
Using the Policy
Add your company name and logo, check each commitment matches what your organisation does and edit any that do not, then approve and date the policy and share it with workers and anyone else who needs to see it.
Who Needs a Mobile Device Policy?
Any organisation that issues laptops, tablets or phones to its workers, and organisations working to ISO 27001 or applying for Cyber Essentials.
Included in the ISO 27001 Toolkit
This policy is part of the ISO 27001 Toolkit and every alphaZ ISO toolkit that covers ISO 27001.
Works with the Information Security Policy Procedure
The same policy is included as the Mobile Device Policy section of the PP-8-100 Information Security Policy Procedure, which is complete without the standalone file. This standalone policy is for organisations that want it as a separate document they can share.
Document Control
The footer carries the policy number and title, information classification, version and page numbers, and the approval fields record who approved the policy and when, so it can be controlled with the rest of your management system documents and listed on a document register such as the F-IMS20 Document Register.
