Is Your Firm Suffering From (and Risking Business with) a BYOD Problem?
Smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous in today’s world. We keep our emails, calendars, conversations —basically our whole lives — in check with our mobile devices. They’re a business necessity. And more and more firms are offering bring-your-own-device (BYOD) solutions to employees, allowing them to keep their business calendars, files and email on personal devices.
But is this freedom putting your firm at risk?
Is your BYOC policy poorly crafted?
Data loss, security breaches, compromised confidentiality. These are just a few of the risks you take by not having the right BYOD policies in place. Where are your employees storing the files on their mobile devices? How are they sharing information outside of your firm’s firewall? Would you be able to protect client data in the event of a lost or stolen device?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, chances are your BYOD policy needs a second look.
How can your make sure your data is safe?
Just because there are risks with BYOD policies does not mean you can’t help your attorneys get more done on the go. Not only should your employees have mobile access to their files, but they should also be able to edit or share those files securely from their phones and tablets.
