Locking Your Screen – Data Protection & GDPR Guidance
Hi everyone,
It has been highlighted recently that some computer and iPad screens have been left unlocked and information visible while staff have moved away from their desk, or on some occasions while in meetings for some length of time.
Can I please remind everyone that it is your responsibility to make sure your computer or iPad screen is locked and information is not visible to anyone not authorised to view it. This is a potential breach of our Data Protection and Information Governance policies & guidance as well as legislation, therefore continued non-adherence could lead to further action being taken.
This issue was discussed at today’s Information Governance Steering Group meeting, and managers have been tasked with addressing this issue with individual staff members where this is found.
Many thanks,
Anthony.
