How to Secure a Work Device Before It Is Used by a Temporary Employee

11/10/2026

A temporary worker may use a device that retains prior profiles, certificates, or access. Temporary status can make ownership and access expiry easy to overlook.

What to check

Check device assignment, wipe and enrollment status, encryption, patching, user profile, account expiry, role-based access, and return logistics. Confirm manager sponsorship and approved work scope.

Recommended next step

Provision a clean managed profile, grant only required access with an end date, and assign someone to reclaim the device and verify access removal when the placement ends.
