The space audit is coming, cover up sensitive information – 05/31/2023
Starting June 12, Facilities Management will be conducting its annual space audit. Employees will enter all rooms on campus in order to update space information. Photos will be taken to record the condition of finishes, furniture layouts and equipment. Part of the project involves auditors creating work requests in the Frontline system for maintenance issues they identify.
While this project is for internal use and staffed by employees, it serves as a good reminder of the need to have good data protection measures in place. What does that mean to the average employee? Ensure that any sensitive information — including that involving students and employees — is kept in a location that can’t be easily seen or accessed. If you’re not at your workstation, lock your computer screen.
And we all know better than to have our user names and passwords pinned to a bulletin board by our computer, a rookie mistake made when Prince William was part of the RAF.
