CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 74

A new hire wants to use a personally owned phone to access company resources. The new hire expresses concern about what happens to the data on the phone when they leave the company.
Which of the following portions of the company's mobile device management configuration would allow the company data to be removed from the device without touching the new hire's data?

Answer options

• A. Asset control
• B. Device access control
• C. Storage lock out
• D. Storage segmentation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Storage segmentation, as it allows for the separation of company data from personal data on the device. This means that when the employee leaves, only the company data can be wiped without affecting their personal information. The other options do not specifically provide this level of separation, which could lead to the loss of personal data when company data is removed.
