Securely configuring laptops, phones, tablets and PCs

Once you’ve chosen which devices your staff will use and decided how they should use them, you’ll need to start thinking about how to configure these devices and the services on them. Ideally, there will be a combination of settings and controls which makes it easy for your users to get their jobs done but makes it hard for attackers to compromise your systems.

This section talks you through some of the areas you’ll want to think about in detail when developing your policies.

These guides include recommendations for several platforms. But, once you have a set of policies to implement, our platform specific guides will give you greater detail on how to achieve this for the operating system, or systems, you've opted to deploy.
