Wreski believes that the policies and procedures should include the following:

• Encrypt sensitive documents that are stored on the device;
• Minimize access to sensitive internal information by using firewalls;
• Back-up data regularly on all mobile devices; and
• Implement antivirus software on all mobile devices.
