Information on BYOD
In our last post (BYOD Could Mean Bring Your Own Disaster to Some Companies), we discussed some of the potential pitfalls of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) in organizations and three ways to keep BYOD devices from becoming a disaster in your own organization. One of those ways was to implement a formal BYOD policy and here’s a great?Commentary?from a highly respected source with five terrific principles for addressing BYOD policies and BYOD devices in discovery.
The Sedona Conference Commentary on BYOD
The Sedona Conference??(TSC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) research and educational institute dedicated to the advanced study of law and policy. TSC has published numerous resources related to technology and discovery on everything from cooperation to guides for judges to proportionality and privilege and so forth. It’s a highly respected organization which has several working groups with experienced industry professionals committing their time to create resources to improve the practice of law.
In 2018, TSC published?The Sedona Conference Commentary on BYOD: Principles and Guidance for Developing Policies and Meeting Discovery Obligations. The Commentary is primarily focused on five principles for BYOD. The first two principles are focused on whether an organization should allow or require BYOD devices and how to develop and implement a BYOD program. The last three principles are focused on discovery obligations when it comes to BYOD devices.

2 年Love the five principles from the Sedona Conference, they're a valuable resource. Emphasis on protecting both business and personal info and developing a plan for discovery is spot on. The legal implications and challenges of employee-owned devices in the workplace are no joke, so it's important to have a solid plan in place.

2 年Well this is thought provoking. Should all BYOD machines VPN into a protected cloud system?
Super interesting! I am going to go back to my institutional clients and make sure their handbooks have BYOD policies!
