Protecting work data on devices with password rules
To secure work content and resources in the work space, when BlackBerry 10 devices are activated on the BlackBerry
Device Service using the BlackBerry Balance option, devices require users to set a password for the work space by default.
If you don't want users to have to enter a password to access work content and resources in the work space, you can set
the "Password Required for Work Space" IT policy rule to No.
You can use IT policy rules to enforce either a password for the work space or the entire device and then control password
requirements for that password, such as complexity and length.

Controlling when devices delete all data in the work space
To protect your organization’s data on BlackBerry Balance devices running BlackBerry 10 OS, you can delete all work data
from the device by wiping the work space and all of its contents. All personal data remains on the device. For example, you
can do this if a user no longer works at your organization.
The following table lists examples of data that is removed when devices delete all data from the work space:
