Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to securely storing data at a computing device that is managed by an external entity. In some embodiments, a computing device maintains a first file system volume having data that is accessible to a user of the computing device and that is not managed by an entity external to the computing device. The computing device receives, from the entity external, a first request to configure the computing device to store data that is accessible to the user and managed by the external entity. In response to the first request, the computing device creates a second distinct file system volume to store the data managed by the external entity. In response to a second request from the external entity, the computing device subsequently removes the second file system volume.
