Reminder – General Data Protection Regulation (DDPR)
Hi everyone,
Over recent weeks there have been a number of occasions when I have noticed that computers have been left with their screens on and in a state of live use, i.e. the screen not locked out with information visible on screen. Where I have seen this, I have closed the lid on computers and/or locked the screen immediately.
Can I remind you that leaving information on screen and unattended is a potential breach of General Data Protection Regulation principles and guidelines, and could lead to sensitive information being accessible to anyone.
As Data Protection Officer, I will now be formally monitoring this situation to ensure screens are not left unlocked and unattended. Staff will therefore be challenged to ensure we all follow information governance policies and procedures.
It is the responsibility of us all to protect the information we hold.
Many thanks,
Anthony.
