Smart mobile device policy

It’s for anyone who uses their smart mobile devices to gain access to Barnardo’s corporate IT network and use corporate applications. 

• We maintain the right to back up, retrieve, modify, determine access and/or delete corporate data on the device without reference to the user. 
• We recognise that users have a reasonable expectation of privacy over their personal information held on devices, and have procedures in place to ensure that IS support staff do not have cause to access, or intentionally access, personal information. 
• Users must take reasonable care to protect their device from loss or theft. If the device is lost or stolen, the user must report the loss or theft to the IS service desk in the first instance and as a matter of urgency. 
• Users are advised to back up their personal information so that it can be recovered.

• It is the responsibility of all employees to comply with this policy. 
• Information security management (EMM) is responsible for maintaining this policy and advising generally on information security controls. The IS department is responsible for managing the security of corporate data and configuring security on authorised devices using EMM. IS is also explicitly responsible for ensuring the security of the EMM software and related procedures in order to minimise the risk of hackers exploiting EMM to access mobile devices.
• IS service desk will provide support for all devices and respond to calls regarding loss, theft and security breaches of any authorised devices.
• Authorising manager (i.e. budget holder) is responsible for granting COPE device access to our corporate network. They reserve the right to decline authorisation to any user, or to withdraw such authorisation, if they deem it inappropriate and not in the best interest of Barnardo’s. BYOD access does not require approval.
