Yesterday,
we talked about all
the reasons
employees shouldn’t store
company files
in their home.
Many of those reasons
apply to
digital files also.
Employees shouldn’t store
company files
on their personal phones,
laptops, other devices.
If a company requires
employees
to store digital files
on devices,
they should supply the devices.
These company-supplied devices
are property of the company.
The company can access them
remotely at any time.
They can monitor activity
on them.
They can lock them down.
And they can run virus scans
on them.
The leaders at a company
should WANT the ability
to do all this.
Supply a device
if you want your employees
to store files digitally
off site.
It will be worth
the investment.
