Smartphone Risk Manager

If employees in your organisation use smart phones to keep in contact whilst they are out and about then you'll know that losing any one of them will spell disaster. Not because it's inconvenient or will cost money to replace, but because of the consequences of losing the data entrusted to you by your suppliers, customers and clients. Nobody wants to face lawsuits, bad press and loss of business because a mobile device goes missing.




As an organisation you have an obligation to be compliant with data protection laws and do everything you can to keep sensitive information out of the public domain. Whilst you will have firewalls and anti-virus software to protect your office-bound and mobile computer hardware, your smart phones won't enjoy the same protection. Yet, by their nature, they are much more vulnerable. They are easy to steal, highly desirable and small enough to misplace. Thousands are lost or stolen every day.

Counting the cost of losing your customers' data

The cost of losing client and customer contacts has been calculated to be almost $200.00 per record (source: Pointsec). That includes fines for breach of regulations, the cost of explaining to your clients that you've lost their valuable data, the loss of business as a result and the price of the damage a PR disaster like that could do to your company. The number of records a smart phone can hold is only restricted by its memory capacity. Smart phone security starts to make very good sense doesn't it?
