The Internet of Things continues making inroads in the business world, so organizations should have a defined IoT structure in place to ensure that data and operations are properly secured.

This customizable policy, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, provides guidelines for the procurement, usage, and administration of IoT devices, whether company provided or employee-owned.

  IOT DEVICE PROCUREMENT
  
  In general, IoT devices that are to be used for company operations should be purchased and installed by organizational personnel. 

  It is allowable for employee-owned IoT devices to be used for business purposes, but they must be used in accordance with the organization’s BYOD policy.

  The use of all IoT devices, whether company-provided or employee-owned, should be requested via the IoT Device Usage Request Form (see Appendix A), which must be submitted to the IT department for approval. Only manager-level employees and above may request the usage and/or procurement of IoT devices.
