Smart Phone Policy BYOD – Template

March 21st 2021

Some organisations allow staff to use their own smart phone for work purposes rather than supply them with a separate work-only device. Such an approach has been termed BYOD or ‘Bring Your Own Device’.

If you permit your staff to do this, you must have a policy in place that covers this in order to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit.

You can use our new Data Policy Builder – launched in October 2025 – to create a tailored BYOD policy. We strongly recommend that you use this new tool which will help you to understand the options and risks, and will generate a tailored policy based on the approach you want to take.

Find out more and access our free Data Policy Builder.

Alternatively, you can download and manually adapt this generic Smart Phone Policy – BYOD which you can download and adapt for your organisation.
