As a project manager overseeing a team that accesses sensitive project data via personal mobile devices while working remotely, which action should you take to address physical security concerns related to these devices?
Implement strong passwords and encryption on all project files.
Install antivirus software on all team members' devices.
Enforce data encryption on the project files stored on the devices.
Develop a policy that governs the use and handling of mobile devices for accessing project data.
Developing a policy that governs the use and handling of mobile devices ensures that team members are aware of and adhere to security protocols, such as reporting lost or stolen devices and securing them with passwords. This directly addresses physical security risks. Implementing strong passwords and encryption on files (Option A) is important but focuses on data security rather than physical device security. Installing antivirus software (Option D) protects against malware but doesn't mitigate risks from lost or stolen devices. Enforcing data encryption (Option B) secures data but doesn't prevent physical loss or unauthorized physical access.
