Staff Top Tip
Secure your Devices
Implement proactive measures to secure your devices, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets, safeguarding both personal information and business data. Establish robust screen locks, such as PINs, passwords, or biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition), on all devices. This deters unauthorised access when devices are idle and adds an extra layer of defence against potential data breaches.
