If you recall, in April 2016, the EU passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which will be implemented next year, May 25th 2018, in all EU member states. GDPR makes employee privacy protection a legal requirement and a comprehensive and well-structured enterprise mobility management (EMM) program will be an important component of an enterprise's GDPR compliance framework. An enterprise that does not use EMM effectively will find it challenging to justify to authorities why it did not adopt state-of-the-art technical measures, as required by Article 32, to mitigate the risk of data loss. So what does this mean for companies with potentially hundreds or thousands of mobile devices including smart phones and tablets, and even desktops to manage? In order to comply, organisations need to implement strong future-proofing policies, procedures and processes to protect themselves. They face not only the risk of heavy fines but also added risks of reputational...
