Create a device inventory first
Before adding controls, list every managed phone, who uses it, and what it is allowed to access.
That inventory becomes the foundation for policy, support, and recovery.
Define what the company owns and what the employee controls
A clear ownership policy prevents confusion about backups, app installs, and account access.
It also supports lawful notice and consistent management when devices change hands.
- Approved apps list
- Lock and wipe readiness
- Backup and return rules
Review devices monthly
Monthly reviews help spot outdated software, missing backups, and gaps in the policy before they become incidents.
Key takeaways
Inventory every managed phone.
Separate company ownership from personal use.
Review policies and backups monthly.
