Your team is already using their own phones for work

Have you agreed the rules with them?

Work email, Teams and shared files are easy to reach from a personal phone, and that convenience is exactly where business data ends up somewhere you can't manage it: a lost phone in a taxi, a family tablet that's still signed in, or a former employee who still has client files on their laptop.

You don't need to ban personal devices, that just pushes the habit out of sight.

But you do need everyone to know what's OK and what's not. Our free BYOD policy template gives you a sensible starting point, written in plain English so your team will actually read it.
