Mobile data collection is entering a new era. What do you need to know about it? This blog post from ModeOne provides the info you need!
In their post titled Mobile Data Collection: What You Need to Know in 2025 (available here), ModeOne discusses how, for U.S. companies, 2024 was a year of trial and error—balancing the need to extract company data from employees’ mobile devices for investigations, litigation, and compliance in accordance with DOJ guidelines, while avoiding employee privacy issues, operational bottlenecks, and other unnecessary risks.
In 2025, the stakes are higher. Stricter privacy laws, escalating cybersecurity threats, and the growing dominance of encrypted messaging platforms are rewriting the playbook for businesses managing employee and corporate data. Companies must adopt smarter, leaner, and more secure strategies to stay compliant while protecting sensitive information. Here’s how the game is changing and what you can do to stay ahead.
Many organizations learned the hard way last year that over-collecting data from employee devices can be as damaging as under-collecting. Inadvertently sweeping up sensitive employee information, like medical records or personal messages, amplifies privacy and security risks, increases legal exposure during investigations, and drives up operational costs for storage and downtimes.
So, what are three challenges defining 2025? And how can you prepare your organization for sound mobile device data collection for litigation, internal investigations, and compliance activities in the new year? Find out here, it’s just one click! Time to mobile-ize! 😉
