With the advent of Technology, Android based applications have also taken a huge leap forward and are driving most of the Businesses around the world. However, the associated hazards of Information breach due to the user behind the machine are also growing several times. A very basic Android Phone if handled by an inimical element is in itself a threat to any organization. It becomes exceedingly difficult for any organisation to allow its employees to use android-based smartphones within Office premises considering the associated menace. The situation is considerably more problematic for organisations such as Defense, Nuclear, Medical, Research, etc as they deal with a huge amount of Classified Data. Notwithstanding, these demerits involved with the usage of Smartphones are sometimes ignored or these organisations attempt to impose various other physical limitations that involve significant expenses and cause discomfort to its employees. In this light, this paper aims to provide a novel method for imposing constraints on Android-based devices in order to mitigate the aforementioned risks. This approach contributes to restrict Android applications from accessing certain smartphone resources once the host device reaches a pre-defined designated area. This can be achieved by providing the requisite permissions to the Applications. This application will have a QR Code scanner that will scan QR Codes at Entry/Exit points to disable/enable undesired Smartphone applications.
