Alliance, C. S. (2012). Mobile Device Management Key Components, V1.0 (pp. 1-11): CSA.
This is a great paper and divides MDM into various parts marking them as Must Haves or Optional. Interestingly I found the Optionals to be more relevant to BYOD. Here are some excerpts:
- MDM is a critical component of the device life cycle
- Well defined policy provides management direction and support for IT and information security and is the foundation for a solid MDM framework implementation
- As part of risk management organizations should perform risk assessment periodically
- Configuration management involves automated configuration of device settings
- Software distribution includes updates for apps and OS, fixes, backups and restores
- An enterprise app store is recommended
- An active content library is recommended
- Finance department is responsible for monitoring and controlling mobility costs
- Privacy cannot be bargained away
- Selective wipes and remote wipes are must haves
- While most companies have a security policy in place, those policies need to be reviewed and possibly updated to account for the many components of mobile technology
- Everything has to start with the basic understanding of the triangle, People, Process, and Technology
