Workplace Smart Checklist

Safeguarding your online privacy shouldn’t mean disrupting the way you work. That’s why it’s smart to understand what

it means to protect yourself from cyber threats while in your office.

 Save sensitive files or folders with password protection, and restrict access only to those who need it

 Cover your webcam and turn off your microphone on your computer when not in use

 ALWAYS lock your computer when you leave your desk

 Immediately process software updates when prompted

 Use strong and unique passwords and update them often – every 3 months is a good timeframe.

 NEVER use the same password for multiple accounts

 Shut your computer down between uses – full encryption only works at rest so if you only use the ‘sleep’

option, encryption is not enabled

 NEVER allow another employee to use your devices, if they have a problem with their device, advise that they

contact IT

 Don’t click on links or open attachments from an unknown source

 If you know the sender but it seems suspicious, check with them first

 If you are prompted to update a password or act in some other way for a site via email, go directly to the

site in your browser to avoid falling for a phishing scam

 Logout of your email account between uses

 ALWAYS update account passwords after you return home from traveling – this will ensure that if your account

was compromised in transit, access will be quickly cut off
