Challenge
Protecting a Remote Team Across Personally Owned Devices
VEA’s fully remote workforce included internal employees, temporary contractors, and subcontractors using their own devices. Supporting more than 70 end users required a security approach that accounted for both personal-device use and different working relationships.
The organization needed cybersecurity policies and an onboarding process suited to this environment. Endpoint protection also needed to support the BYOD program across a distributed team.
Solution
Bringing Policies, Onboarding, and Endpoint Protection Together
OPIT’s work combined the design, planning, and execution of cybersecurity policies with a structured onboarding process. Endpoint-protection services supported the BYOD program by connecting organizational security requirements to the devices people used for work.
Establish Cybersecurity Policies
Designed and implemented cybersecurity policies for a fully remote BYOD environment. The approach addressed a workforce made up of internal employees, temporary contractors, and subcontractors.
Structure User Onboarding
Developed and implemented an onboarding process alongside the cybersecurity policies. This brought a coordinated approach to introducing users to the organization’s remote-work security requirements.
Support Endpoint Protection
Provided endpoint-protection services to support the BYOD program. Device protection formed part of the broader security approach for a team working remotely on personally owned computers.
Outcome
An Ongoing Partnership Supporting Remote-Work Security
OPIT’s project-reference material records VEA as a client since 2020. This continuing relationship reflects a long-term engagement supporting a fully remote organization with a varied workforce and a BYOD operating model.
The documented work brought cybersecurity policies, structured onboarding, and endpoint protection together to support that environment. These elements formed the basis of OPIT’s approach to VEA’s remote-work security needs.
