In your planned response to the spread of Coronavirus, you’ve no doubt factored in remote working or home-working as part of your solution.
It won’t be right for all sectors of course or even for all parts of a single business but it makes sense to consider how a shift to remote working might help you manage some of the health risks and productivity risks that are coming down the road.
If you decide that remote working may be a feasible option, here are some specifics to think about –
- How well do your existing policies and IT facilities align with this new requirement?
- Is your Acceptable Use Policy on message?
- How sure are you that you will still be able to meet your data protection obligations?
- Are your laptops encrypted?
- Is the security software patching up-to-date?
- Do your staff understand the privacy and security risks of café working?
- What rules are in place to protect the physical (as well as the technical) security of both business and personal information?
- Do you have cyber security insurance in place?
- Might it be worth obtaining independent verification of your cybersecurity set-up such as HM Government’s Cyber Essentials or IASME Governance Standard?
Sensible adjustments to your policies and working practices may prove to be a cost effective measure. Who knows, perhaps we will discover that remote working is nothing for managers to be scared of. It might even become the norm.
