Lost / Stolen Device

Note: We are unable to wipe your personal data and this is something you will need to initiate yourself.
Setup Guides
Attached to this article "BYOD - Android Device Setup" and "BYOD - iOS Device Setup" to help you get up and running, if you require further help please contact the IT Service Desk.
Common Question
A common question that always gets asked when a new BYOD policy comes into force is "Will IT be able to monitor my personal device and see my messages, phone calls, photo's etc." the simple answer to this is No.
When you install the approved apps these create a "container" on your device which keeps it isolated from all your personal data so IT will never be able to control or see any data outside of this container.
