Data Security Risks for Remote Working
Designed to develop awareness of the risks of working remotely.
Why is this training needed?
Remote working is here to stay. After the mass adoption of working from home by businesses during 2020, 80% of businesses have confirmed they intend to continue operating a hybrid working model going forward.
Changes to working practices are likely to have created, and will no doubt continue to create, additional data protection risks in order to achieve full compliance. For which many businesses are likely to be unprepared and ill-equipped to manage.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has publicly stated that security measures must not be compromised while working from home.
At Briefed, we have plenty of experience helping businesses deal with data breaches caused by simple mistakes made by staff. Whether working remotely or not, the potential outcome is still the same: large fines, reputational damage and even criminal proceedings.
It has therefore never been more important to ensure you and all your colleagues are aware of your data protection responsibilities, have policies and procedures in place, and have undertaken appropriate training for this new and unprecedented area of risk.
