- Idle Timeout- Devices MUST be set to timeout/lock after no more than 15 minutes of inactivity.
- Lost or Stolen Devices- Lost or stolen devices MUST be reported to User Support Services, Information Security, or Campus Police (outside of regular business hours) immediately. ALL Longwood and personal data (files, pictures, music, contact lists, etc.) on lost or stolen devices will be remotely wiped by ITS.
- Upon Separation:
- Longwood-owned devices will be wiped by ITS in the event that the user is no longer employed by the University or if the device is transferred to another user. This wipe will remove ALL LONGWOOD and personal data (files, pictures, music, contacts lists, etc.) from the device.
- Personal devices must be reconfigured. Users must remove the ActiveSync configuration on their personal devices in the event that the user is no longer employed by the University.
