Insider Provisioning Enables Device Theft

When staff with procurement and mobile‑device‑management (MDM) authority order and redirect equipment to private addresses, they can bypass technical controls and sell devices into secondary markets, creating widespread asset loss, security exposure, and forensic gaps. The risk is amplified when resale channels are instructed to strip or 'part out' devices to evade remote wipe and tracking. — Public‑sector IT procurement and MDM pipelines are critical infrastructure; insider abuse can produce rapid, high‑value losses and new national‑security and privacy exposure that merit standardised audit, separation‑of‑duties rules, and criminal‑sanction deterrence.
