PINs and passwords are not always used by employees and, when they are, they are rarely changed
encryption and software to protect devices can reduce their speed and capacity
open access WIFI in coffee shops, hotels and other places can leave devices open to hacking

8. Some problems (cont’d)
the devices can be used for a mixture of home and office use
the device can be lost
what happens if the employee leaves or dies – will the employer have the PIN or password it needs, will it even have physical or electronic access to the device?

9. Some problems (cont’d)
if the employer’s data or other data is on a device or can be downloaded to a device and the data is supposed to be protected by the Data Protection Act how will the employer demonstrate its compliance with the DPA?

10. Some employment policy solutions

employees to change those PINs and passwords when required and to deliver up the device when requested
allow the employer to track the device and directly or remotely to download information from the device

11. Other solutions
make clear the reasons for what may appear to be significant restrictions on the employees and the sanctions which may flow from a breach of policy
