A roadmap for connecting personal devices to corporate
networks and data.
The need to consider the policy of how to manage BYOD is
becoming more common place in the education industry. Recently, the
IT manager of one of our clients who manages a six-campus school
with more than 3,000 students was tasked with enabling BYOD access
for support staff, teachers, students, and visitors. This raised
basic business questions about parental expectations, device
replacement, and student monitoring.
As the BYOD phenomenon continues to grow, internal auditors must
consider how their organisation can get boards, executives, and
employees connected on the devices they prefer to use, while
providing appropriate oversight. One answer is to establish an
implementation roadmap ensuring that business needs, staff
flexibility, and satisfaction requirements are all catered for
equally.
