Your Staff. 
Their Personal Phones. 
Your Company Data.
 

Your employees can access company emails, documents and sensitive client information from their smartphones, tablets and other devices. It's convenient, but is your business information adequately protected?

If a member of staff left your business tomorrow, could you remove company information from their personal phone without touching their private data?

What if their phone was lost or stolen? 

Or confidential documents were downloaded to a device your business doesn't manage?

Many organisations allow employees to access business information from personal devices without fully considering the risks.

The good news? You don't have to choose between security and flexibility.

Purity IT can help you take control with three practical approaches, tailored to how your business operates.

Option 1 — Secure Your Company-Owned Devices

Ideal for businesses that provide staff with work phones and tablets.

If your organisation supplies mobile devices, you should be able to control how they're secured and used.

We can help you:

Apply consistent security settings across company devices.

Require screen locks and appropriate device protection.

Control access to business applications and information.

Remotely secure or wipe managed devices if they're lost, stolen or reassigned.

Your devices. Your business. Your control.

Option 2 — Protect Company Data on Personal Phones

Ideal for businesses that allow employees to use their own smartphones.

Your staff can continue using their personal phones for work without your business having to manage their entire device.

We can implement safeguards that help:

Keep company information within approved work applications.

Restrict copying or transferring business data into personal applications.

Require additional authentication to access work information.

Remove protected company information from managed work applications when an employee leaves, without deleting their personal photos, messages or other private content.

Their phone stays personal. Your business information stays protected.

Option 3 — Control Where Company Information Can Be Accessed

Ideal for businesses that want stricter access controls.

Some organisations prefer to limit access to company systems rather than allow employees to connect from any device or location.

Depending on your business requirements, we can:

Restrict access to approved devices.

Limit access based on trusted locations.

Block access from devices that don't meet your security requirements.

Apply different access rules for different employees or departments.

This approach offers tighter control, although restrictions need to be carefully planned for employees who work remotely, travel or use personal devices.

You decide where your business information can be accessed.

Which Approach Is Right for Your Business?

There isn't a single solution that suits every organisation.

You may want employees to work flexibly from personal phones, secure company 

issued devices, restrict access to trusted locations, or combine several approaches.

Purity IT can review how your employees currently access company information and recommend appropriate safeguards.

The important thing is making an informed decision about your business data 

rather than leaving access uncontrolled by default.
