Hybrid working has made contractor laptops a security and cost headache
After the move to hybrid working, IT supports a messy mix of company laptops, personal devices, and contractor machines. Sign-in policies are inconsistent, configurations drift over time, and there's a known risk that leavers walk out with data they shouldn't have.
Trigger — Hybrid working sprawl; Internal Audit has flagged the leaver risk.
Good outcome — Contractors get a cloud PC instead of a physical laptop they keep. Company laptops are managed centrally with consistent policies, and when someone leaves their access goes off the same day.
