Every month I hear, “We have a customer(s) requiring verification of our data security, including our mobile devices. Can you believe that?!” Of course I believe it, and for many businesses, it should be a critical component of your comprehensive mobile strategy.
Given that data breaches are becoming more commonplace and more publicized, it’s no surprise that customers and vendors are a little leery of handing over data without some kind of confirmation of its security. Whether your organization is B2B or B2C, individuals are becoming more aware, both personally and professionally, that their data is located in several places on various systems. If that data includes sensitive information, they have a responsibility to themselves and/or their companies to take precautions.
Due to such data sensitivity, many industries are modifying legal contracts and agreements to include mobile device and data security. Therefore, board of directors, CIOs, CEOs and other senior level managers are being required to re-think their mobile strategy and evaluate the policies and procedures in place that protect their interests, as well as those of their clients. As contractually everyone is held to a much higher standard, you can anticipate getting asked about your mobile security and related components at an increasing rate moving forward.
So what will you say the next time you’re asked about mobile device security within your organization? Will you be able to confidently answer a customer’s questions and expertly provide the peace of mind they desire? If you don’t currently have a solution in place, give TechOrchard a call.
In today’s business environment, enterprise mobility management (EMM) is a “power tool” you can use to implement, manage, and verify policies and security procedures for the benefit of customers, vendors and your company alike. Some organizations are even leveraging their improved security profile as a selling point to prospects, highlighting how enhanced security measures offer stronger customer protection.
