Secure home working environment

Work in a secure home working environment, if possible. So log in to your organisation’s server at home. This ensures you work in the same environment as at work. If possible, use equipment from your organisation for this. For example, a laptop or tablet.

No secure home working environment

If you do not have a secure home working environment, consult with colleagues, clients and contractors about how to work securely.

Be careful with free services

Be careful when using cloud, storage or email services, especially if they are free. Because such a service may be free because the provider uses your personal data for other purposes, such as marketing or selling your data to other companies. It is also possible that these services are not properly protected against cyber criminals.

Pay attention to special categories of personal data

Be particularly careful with special categories of personal data, such as data about a person’s health or data from which a person’s ethnic origin, sexual preference or religion can be deduced. See also: Securing documents.
