Abstract

This research examines the policies regarding the use of personal digital devices in Small to Medium Enterprises (SME), with an emphasis on small business. Where larger enterprises have focused attention on the potential exposure to data compromise through deliberate or inadvertent misuse of data, SMEs appear less concerned. This study uses interviews and a local survey to examine both the use of digital devices and the policies for security of digital devices.
