Security - Information Protection - Simple Rules to manage business sensitive information

Follow some of these simple techniques to protect accidental disclosure of business sensitive information

• Classify information as per its sensitivity and share information only that is necessary with authorized users
• Avoid business sensitive information discussion at places where people can overhear you
• lock your computers when leaving desk
• keep you desk clean and lock any sensitive information in your drawers/lockers
• Collect the print out immediately after printing any document
• check if recipient is available to receive a confidential fax message before sending it
• Validate recipient email ids while sending sensitive information over email and never post any information on social media sites (even on forums, unless explicitly authorized in writing)
• Ensure that no one else is watching your screen while working with sensitive information. Sometimes people just watch your screen  over your shoulder too.

 The way we expect banks to protect information that we share with them, business where we work expect the same from us.
