What is Mobile Device Security?
A phone holds your email, accounts and files, so protecting it matters as much as protecting a computer. The basics are a strong screen lock, keeping it updated, and backing it up, most free and quick. If staff use their own phones for work, the last section covers keeping work data separate.
You’ll see how well you’re protected, plus a short list of what to do next, no pass or fail.
Your answers are saved on this device, so you can stop and come back anytime.
How your result works
Wherever you land, you’ll see what’s already in place and what would lift your protection. The technical how-to is tucked away for your IT support, so you don’t have to wade through it.
