Workplace & Physical Security

1. Why Workplace Security Matters

Security is not only about emails and passwords. Physical access to systems, documents, and devices can also lead to serious data leaks.

Simple daily habits help protect both company information and your own work.

2. Lock Your Screen Every Time

Always lock your computer when stepping away — even for a minute.

  • Unattended screens are easy targets
  • Anyone could access emails, files, or dashboards
  • Internal data leaks often happen this way

Make locking your screen a habit before leaving your desk.

3. Clean Desk Practices

  • Clear your desk at the end of the day
  • Do not leave confidential papers unattended
  • Store sensitive documents in locked drawers
  • Avoid leaving printouts on meeting room tables

A clean desk reduces the risk of accidental exposure.

4. Protect Physical Assets

  • Do not leave ID badges unattended
  • Keep laptops and USB drives secure
  • Do not share login credentials
  • Never allow unknown persons to use your system

Always verify who someone is and why they need access before allowing it.

5. Shared Space Awareness

  • Avoid keeping sensitive files open on shared screens
  • Angle your monitor so visitors cannot see confidential data
  • Close unused browser tabs containing dashboards or logs

Be mindful when working in meeting rooms, collaboration areas, or open spaces.
