Orrick’s “Three Things to Consider After DOJ’s Announcement on New Corporate Messaging Policy” offers sound advice to companies in response to the DOJ’s updated expectations (p17-18) (we reported on here: “DOJ”) pertaining specifically to company data and communications residing on personal devices, communications platforms, and messaging applications, for evaluating corporate compliance programs. The firm’s guidance hones in on the development, implementation, communication, and training on tailored and robust policies that facilitate access to, and preservation of, relevant data and communications. Companies are also encouraged to reconsider their use of ephemeral messaging applications in light of the implications on the accessibility and preservation of data.

See also “DOJ Issues New Guidance on Use of Personal Devices and Third-Party Messaging Applications” (Perkins Coie) and “DOJ Issues Further Guidance, Warnings on Ephemeral Messaging Apps” (Cooley) and additional information & resources on our our Compliance & Ethics (includes sample BYOD policies) and DOJ Compliance & Enforcement pages.
