A Mobile Device Offboarding Checklist for Preserving Business Data When Employees Leave
Employee turnover is an inevitable reality at any business, whether due to voluntary departures, layoffs, or termination for malfeasance. But when employees leave, they don’t just walk out the door with their personal belongings, they often take with them valuable institutional knowledge, IP, and other business-critical data. That risk is greater than ever now that mobile devices –– whether company-issued or personally owned BYOD — are central to workplace productivity. Without proper data retention policies for departing employees, organizations risk losing essential information, exposing themselves to security threats, and facing costly legal consequences. This includes having a mobile device offboarding checklist for all departing employees.
Why Data Preservation Matters
When employees leave, the data stored on their mobile devices can include customer lists, financial information, trade secrets, strategic plans, M&A targets, PII, PHI, intellectual property, and beyond. A structured approach to mobile device data retention minimizes cyber risk, safeguards intellectual assets, and positions businesses for compliance with industry regulations.
