Generate a BYOD Policy
Customized for Your Company
A signed BYOD policy is a baseline control your cyber insurance carrier expects to see — and your auditor will ask for. Answer a few questions about your environment and download a customized policy package ready for your team to sign.
Compliance-aligned
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and NIST language inserted based on the data you handle.
Employee Sign-Off
Built-in signature page each employee or 1099 contractor signs before getting system access.
Onboarding Steps Guide
Plain-English 1-pager for contractors — what to do on their device before they start.
Privacy Boundary
Spells out what the company sees on a personal device and what stays private. Your team will read it.
⚠️ Why BYOD needs a written policy: when a breach hits a personal device, your company may have no legal authority to inspect, wipe, or preserve evidence. The strongest fix is company-owned devices; the next-best is a signed BYOD policy — which this wizard generates.
Why this matters — real-world examples and legal context
If your organization uses BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), you face significant security and legal challenges. Contractors can refuse access to their personal computers, leaving your organization unable to determine what data was compromised.
Real-world impact: The 2020 Twitter breach began through a contractor's compromised personal device. In 2023, the LastPass breach was traced to a DevOps engineer's unmanaged home computer. When endpoints are outside company control, incident response becomes severely limited.
The ultimate fix is company-owned computers — when you own the device, you can deploy endpoint protection, force patching, wipe remotely after termination, and conduct forensic analysis after an incident. For most companies, a device refresh costs less than one breach. Talk to a Cyvatar advisor if you'd like help building a phased plan.
Start your BYOD policy
First, who are you? We'll personalize the policy with your company name.
About your company
A few basics so the policy is signed by the right legal entity and references the right state law.
Who and what gets covered
Counts can be approximate. The policy is the same regardless — these numbers just sharpen the cover language.
Identity & access
Who manages logins today? This drives the MFA section and helps us flag gaps the policy needs to close.
Existing security baseline
We won't replace your existing controls — we'll reference them by name in the policy so your team isn't confused.
What kinds of data does your team touch?
Each "yes" here drives a dedicated section in the policy. None of this changes the price (the BYOD generator is free) — it just makes the policy real.
Who's the named contact in the policy?
The person employees email when they have a device question, lose a phone, or suspect they've been phished. Doesn't have to be technical — just reachable.
