Abstract: Various organisations and individuals consider the bring your own device (BYOD) practice as a flexible method for remote working. However, as cybercrime continues to surge under the current teleworking climate, organisations are compelled to strengthen their existing security posture. The aim of this study was to uncover the BYOD security issues and appropriate controls through a systematic literature review (SLR) of peer-reviewed journal articles from 2010-2021 as a guide to propose a BYOD security controls conceptual framework. The following databases were used for this study: Science Direct, Taylor and Francis, Springer Link and IEEE Explore. The SLR outcome revealed various BYOD security issues and controls and these are classified into people, process, and technology categories. The security controls from the SLR and the diffusion of innovation and deterrence theories are artefacts of the proposed BYOD security conceptual framework. This study contributes to the broader body of knowledge of information and cybersecurity.
