We're shifting to a fully remote, BYOD policy. Need to lock down access and data without killing productivity.
What actually works?
* Enforcing device encryption before granting any app access.
* Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) instead of traditional VPN.
* Containerization for separating work apps/data from personal stuff.
Biggest gap for us is proving compliance for audits without imaging personal machines. How are you handling the asset management and control evidence piece?
Ship fast, review slower
We went through this exact shift last year and the audit piece was our biggest headache too. Your three technical controls are spot on, especially ZTNA, it made a huge difference for us.
For the compliance evidence, we use an endpoint compliance agent (CrowdStrike in our case) that runs a minimal, read only check. It doesn't image anything, it just confirms the control exists, like verifying full disk encryption is active or a firewall is on, and sends a signed report to our audit log. It's basically a compliance check, not a full management agent. Our auditors accepted this as proof of control, since it's a tamper evident report from a trusted source. The key was getting them to agree on the control parameters upfront.
You do have to be super clear with the team about what it's collecting though. Transparency there is non negotiable.
