Mobile Device Risks, Records & Compliance Rules:
Managing Your Agency’s BYOD & COPE Policies
Employees increasingly are using smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices to conduct government agency and personal business. Some use personal, unsecured smartphones to conduct government business. Others use agency-owned phones to hold private, nonbusiness-related conversations. Either way, mobile device use increases your agency’s records, legal, security, regulatory, productivity, and PR risks. To help manage potentially costly risks, best practices call for the adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Company-Owned Personally Engaged (COPE) policies, supported by employee education and technology tools.
In this program, Nancy Flynn, founder of The ePolicy Institute and author of The Social Media Handbook, The ePolicy Toolkit and other books, will review the mobile device risks facing government agencies—and will provide best practices-based rules, policies, and procedures to help reduce the likelihood of online disasters, while increasing compliance and enhancing communication. Learn why and how to develop and implement a strategic mobile device policy program, combining written rules, employee training, and technology tools. Don’t let smartphone slip-ups and mobile missteps blemish your agency’s reputation, damage business relationships, or sink your career. Attend this session to help your agency minimize mobile device risks, manage business records, and maximize compliance and communication.
