Bring Your Own Device Policy (BYOD)
Introduction
NHS Confederation provides standard IT equipment for all staff. By default there is no need for individuals to use non-Confed IT equipment but where there is a need to use non-standard equipment, the NHS Confederation will support staff in this practice if they sign up to the terms in this policy and assuming all risks can be managed. The use of non-standard devices to create and process NHS Confederation information and data creates issues that need to be addressed, particularly in the area of information security.
The NHS Confederation must ensure that it remains in control of the data for which it is responsible, regardless of the ownership of the device used to carry out the processing. For these reasons use of personal devices may be refused.
