ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
A growing healthcare startup hosts its clinical web app on AWS and issues smartphones to 150 clinicians. Leadership wants to reduce hardware costs but must retain the ability to enforce mobile device policies, push a corporate MDM profile, segregate hospital data from personal apps, and remotely wipe only corporate information if a phone is lost. Which provisioning approach best meets these requirements?
Implement a choose-your-own-device model where employees buy approved phones and opt in to security training instead of centralized management.
Allow clinicians to use personally owned devices under a traditional BYOD policy enforced only through a VPN.
Provide fully managed corporate smartphones that prohibit installation of any personal applications.
Adopt a Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) smartphone program managed by the existing MDM platform.
Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) programs give the organization ownership of the hardware while still allowing users to install personal applications. Because the company owns the device, it can require enrollment in its MDM platform, apply security baselines, control data-at-rest encryption, and perform a selective or full remote wipe if the device is lost. BYOD or choose-your-own-device programs leave ownership with the employee, limiting the organization's legal authority to mandate fullādevice management; although containerization can mitigate some issues, the company cannot guarantee every user will enroll or keep controls enabled. Conversely, fully locked-down corporate devices satisfy security but fail the requirement to permit personal use. Therefore, COPE balances cost savings with strong policy enforcement and selective wipe capability, aligning with the stated goals.
