What is BYOD Security?

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) security is the set of controls, policies, and technologies used to protect business data when employees access it on their own personal devices – such as smartphones, laptops, or tablets.

Rather than trying to control the entire device, BYOD security focuses on controlling how business data is accessed, stored, and shared for both a compliance and cyber risk perspective.

Let’s talk BYOD security

When work moves onto personal devices…

An employee leaves and takes company data with them on their personal device

A lost or stolen phone contains company email or files, with no way to remove them

Data is copied between apps, increasing the risk of accidental exposure

BYOD Security Solutions

Device management solutions like Microsoft Intune are a key way to secure personal devices used for work,
helping businesses control access and protect company data across both personal and corporate devices.

Application Management
Intune manages the rollout and updating of business apps, ensuring employees always have the tools they need. It also protects company data within those apps on personal devices, without impacting personal use.
Configuration of device settings
Intune allows you to apply security settings across BYOD devices, including password policies, encryption, and checks for insecure or outdated devices. It also configures Wi‑Fi, VPN, and email access to ensure users connect securely.
Remote Device Management
If a device is lost, stolen, or no longer in use, Intune allows you to remotely lock it or remove company data. For BYOD, this can be done selectively, without affecting personal files or apps.
Device Management
Intune supports enrolment for personal (BYOD) devices, either manually or automatically. With tools like Autopilot and Apple or Android enrolment programmes, devices are secured and policy-compliant from day one.
Conditional Access
Intune works with Microsoft Entra ID to ensure only trusted, compliant devices can access company data. Access can be restricted based on device security, location, or user risk, with options like multi-factor authentication.
