Mobile Trend Checklist

This checklist helps Argentine SMBs assess whether their mobile practices align with IT best practices in 2015. Review each question carefully to understand your organisation’s posture:

Device Security

• All employee mobile devices are secured with a passcode, fingerprint, or facial recognition.
• Devices are encrypted to protect data at rest.
• Lost or stolen devices can be remotely wiped via an MDM or OS feature.

Application Control

• Only approved or whitelisted business apps are used for work tasks.
• Employees are discouraged from installing unknown third-party apps on work devices.
• App permissions are reviewed and restricted where possible (e.g., camera, GPS).

Network Access

• Company email and file access require two-factor authentication.
• VPN access is provided for secure connections when off-site or on public Wi-Fi.
• Access to internal apps is logged and monitored regularly.

Policy & Awareness

• A Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy is in place and has been communicated clearly.
• Employees receive training on secure mobile usage and phishing threats.
• IT regularly reviews mobile access logs and device compliance.

Cost Management

• Roaming and mobile data plans are monitored and controlled for business devices.
• Usage is reviewed monthly to identify unusual or excessive activity.
