S 5.26 Announcing fax messages via telephone
Initiation responsibility: IT Security Management, Superiors
Implementation responsibility: Fax sender
Important fax messages of a confidential or financial nature (e.g. tenders) or
involving deadlines must be announced to the recipient before dispatch (e.g.
via telephone). This allows the recipient to pick up the fax message from the
fax machine before other parties are able to do so.
Superiors should instruct users to announce confidential and important fax
messages.
Additional controls:
- Are important fax messages announced beforehand?
- Are users instructed to do so?
