Monthly Device Review Checklist for Small Businesses

A monthly device review helps small businesses keep company equipment organized and secure.

Devices can become outdated, misplaced, reassigned, or returned without proper documentation.

• Device inventory is outdated.
• Former employees still have devices listed as assigned.
• Returned devices are not inspected.
• Updates and security status are not reviewed.
• Accessories are missing or not tracked.
