Which policy allows employees to choose from a set of corporate devices for work?

• A. BYOD
• B. Corporate owned, personally enabled
• C. Corporate owned, business only
• D. Choose your own device

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is how organizations control what devices employees can use for work while keeping security in check. Choose Your Own Device means IT offers a catalog of pre-approved corporate devices and lets employees select from that set. The devices are owned or fully managed by the company, so security policies, encryption, and management tools (like MDM) can be consistently applied to every chosen device. This provides some employee choice in hardware without sacrificing the organization's control over security and configuration. This differs from Bring Your Own Device, where employees use their personal devices for work and security controls become harder to enforce. It also differs from corporate-owned, personally enabled or corporate-owned, business only models, where the emphasis is either on broader personal use without a fixed catalog or on restricting devices to business use. The catalog approach of choosing from a curated list gives a balance of user preference and strong governance.
