Honest answers before you download.
- What about BYOD?
- BYOD (bring your own device) sits outside this form. Use a BYOD acknowledgement and security policy instead. Most workplaces don't allow BYOD for primary work devices for security reasons.
- Who owns the asset register?
- IT typically owns it; HR cross-references at offboarding. The form has the asset-ID field that links both systems.
- Do remote workers need extra equipment?
- Often yes — second monitor, ergonomic chair, headset. Reference the remote-work policy for the standard remote kit.
