My company just started requiring Microsoft Intune Company Portal app to use Teams and Outlook. From a friend in IT infosec at another company said the app can push apps, require certain settings, password requirements, or OSs, and can see a lot of stuff on your phone. I don't think this level of intrusion into my personal phone is warranted or ethical. Be warned. I'm just going to uninstall and suffer the internal political consequences.

Do not ever ever ever load company stuff on a personal device.

Keep that veil of separation IP between company and personal.

If company demand you use a mobile device, let them provide it and carry 2 phones.

Remember if company info touches a device it can be subpoenaed and siezed if the company is sued.

Company data and data charges on your phone are not reimbursed.

Used to be if the company wiped their partition, it wiped the whole phone.....this has been corrected, but just proves the point to keep things separate.

Do not ever ever ever load company stuff on a personal device.

My job issues cell phones for work. I was told that it is permissible to use these phones for personal, and many coworkers do in fact do this.

No fucking thanks.
