Device encryption and leaver processes: two controls often missed
Lost laptops and forgotten access are everyday risks. Two controls reduce the impact quickly: encryption and a consistent leaver process.
Encryption: what to confirm
- - Encryption is enabled by default on company devices.
- - Recovery keys are stored securely and can be retrieved when needed.
- - Devices lock automatically when unattended.
Leaver process: the essentials
- - Disable the account, sign out sessions, and remove devices from access lists.
- - Rotate shared passwords the user may have known.
- - Remove access to shared mailboxes, finance tools, and password vaults.
- - Confirm ownership of shared folders and Teams before removing licences.
We can audit encryption status and build a leaver workflow that is consistent and auditable.
