One of things I like to see from employers is having heavy IT restrictions placed on staff. Go ahead and boo or hiss at me, after working 10 years in IT I am very used to it. Placing computer restrictions on staff isn’t about making people more productive during work hours (although people use it as a reason) but more to protect the company and the staff that has access to sensitive data.
More Laptops And Data Go Missing
There is yet another report of a laptop going missing with sensitive data on it. A laptop was stolen from the home of a HSE employee. Recent reports include the Bank of Ireland and other HSE incidents where personal data of their customers has been compromised. This damages the reputation of these organisations, their credibility when it comes to security, gets the Data Protection Commissioner very interested in their operations and damages their customers.
