To protect data on user devices in a BYOD environment, the organization should consider requiring all of the following, except:

In a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environment, the focus is on securing sensitive data that can reside on various personal devices used by employees. One of the key elements of this security strategy involves implementing technical controls that directly safeguard data and access to systems.

Two-person integrity is a concept primarily used in environments with high-security needs, such as government or military operations. It requires the presence or collaboration of two individuals to complete certain actions or access sensitive information. While this control is effective for ensuring oversight and reducing the risk of insider threats, it may not be pragmatic or necessary for typical BYOD security measures. BYOD environments often prioritize more direct technological safeguards rather than procedural checks involving multiple individuals.

In contrast, the other measures—such as data loss prevention (DLP) agents, local encryption, and multifactor authentication—are fundamental components of a comprehensive approach to securing data on user devices. DLP agents help monitor and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and sharing. Local encryption ensures that even if devices are lost or stolen, the data stored on them remains protected. Multifactor authentication provides an additional layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access, which is increasingly essential in a context where devices are owned by users rather than the organization
