We do not allow official email ID access on devices other than office-provided devices using "Using Google Context-Aware Access". Based on the business requirement, we are blocking sending mails outside iOPEX domain or allow only specific domains to have access to send and receive mails. We blocked external devices like USB drives, Blue Tooth, and others from connecting in to ensure security system is intact.

End Points using Anti-Virus Software: At iOPEX technologies, we have blocked personal emails and drives using Zero Trust Network Access, which will block the sites if you are accessing an outside office network as well. We use BitLocker to avoid data loss from laptop theft and others. We also restrict data storage in local drives and allow data storage only within the company-provided share drives. Monitoring the data movement using DLP (data leak prevention) and train and educate all users.
