S 3.21 Training and further education of
telecommuters as regards security-related
issues
Initiation responsibility: Superiors, IT Security Management
Implementation responsibility: Superiors, IT Security Management
Telecommuters work partly or exclusively at home. Consequently, the
security measures required in this case partly differ from those pertaining to
work at the institution itself. For this reason, it is necessary to prepare a
security concept for telecommuting workstations. Following the
announcement of this concept, telecommuters must be briefed on the security
measures to be implemented and, if necessary, trained to observe them. In
addition, telecommuters must be trained to handle telecommuting
workstations to the extent that they are able to perform simple maintenance
tasks and solve simple problems independently.
Additional controls:
- Have special IT security concepts been prepared for telecommuting?
- Have telecommuters been trained to implement IT security measures?
