Chapter 3.4: Security and free time

Reflection:
Free time
Do we care about security only during working hours or 24/7?
In countries where drinking alcohol is a social custom, is drinking to the point of getting drunk a security risk?
Can hidden relationships and affairs affect security?
How do we treat the confidentiality of information?
Might some aspects of our behaviour during our free time affect the image of our organisation?

Chapter 3.4: Security and free time

How do we treat the confidentiality of information?

by Enrique Eguren and Marie Caraj

Send

And because information can leak out any time, even during free time, here is an extra consideration related to information security.

The organisation should establish at least two different levels of confidentiality of information (always within the organisation):

a - What just a few members should know.

b - What all members may know

This process may reduce the risk of confidential information leaking, whether by negligent behaviour and /or infiltration. It may also help the organisation see where is the leakage is coming from.
