Think about the GDPR Implications of Mobile Device Management
With new data laws and the increased need for online security, mobile device management is more important than ever. You are responsible for your business’ mobile devices and the data on them. If a PC or laptop was stolen, you would immediately think of the GDPR data implications, but you don’t necessarily have the same reactions if a phone is lost.
