Access company data with corporate equipment
Only use devices and software provided by your company. Create strong passwords (use reliable/approved password managers, if available), do not write them down, and try not to be seen when typing them. Avoid temporary solutions, even if they seem to provide exactly what you need.
Stay alert
Be wary of any suspicious activity and requests, especially those related to financial matters. It could be CEO fraud! If in doubt, call the requester to verify. Do not click on links or attachments received in unsolicited emails and text messages.
Avoid providing personal information
Never respond to messages with personal information, even if they claim to be a legitimate business. Instead, contact the company directly to confirm their request.
Secure remote access
Connect to the corporate network only via the corporate VPN and protect the elements (e.g., smart card) required for the VPN connection.
Develop new routines
Discuss work plans with your direct supervisor and team members during the remote work period, including task distribution, deadlines, and communication channels.
Protect your equipment and remote work environment
Do not allow family members to access your work devices. Lock or turn them off when you are not paying attention to them, and always store them in a secure place to prevent loss, damage, or theft. Avoid prying eyes by using privacy screens and do not tilt the screen towards windows or cameras.
Use of personal devices
If using your personal device is the only option and your supervisor allows it, ensure that your operating system and software are updated, including antivirus/anti-malware, and that the connection is secure via a company-approved VPN.
Report
If you notice any unusual or suspicious activity on any device you are using for remote work, immediately contact your supervisor through the appropriate channels.
Keep business separate from leisure
Avoid using remote work devices for personal purposes.
