Security Hints & Tips

Computer Equipment Security

In the office:

Individual devices should be locked down whenever they’re left unattended - including laptops, PCs, printers and projectors
Anchor equipment to solid furniture
Log who is responsible for equipment and where it is so that it can be tracked
Advise staff not to write their passwords on post-its or near their computer
Ensure employees’ take responsibility for their equipment, include this in the terms of their contract.
Goods lifts should be disabled at the end of the day.
In-house mischief does happen. Keep the number of people able to arm and disarm the system to a minimum. Make sure that they are issued with individual ‘pin’ numbers. This will facilitate better management of the system.
Mark property with your full postcode in a permanent and prominent way.
Keys to security devices should be kept in the custody of authorised personnel only and either removed from the premises when they are left unattended or put in a locked safe.
