The world is facing an era in which technology has a crucial impact on the growth of businesses. It is claimed that in 2020 20 billion devices will be connected to the internet, therefore, data is crucial for employees, customers and organisations. The implementation of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives the owner better control of their personal data. Consequently, organisations must be prepared to face cutting-edge threats to security in order to protect individuals against potential harm caused by unauthorized access to their data. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a policy which provides some flexibility within organisations, and which results in better commitment in employees. This chapter analyses the impact of GDPR in BYOD architectures and proposes the integration of a multi-layer policy with an Information Governance Framework to ensure data privacy, focusing on the human factor when protecting personal devices.
