A clean desk policy can be an important tool to ensure that all sensitive/confidential materials are removed from an end user workspace and locked away when the items are not in use or an employee leaves his/her workstation. It is one of the top strategies to utilise when trying to reduce the risk of security breaches in the workplace. Such a policy can also increase employee’s awareness about protecting sensitive information.
Use of ‘Door’ in this policy relates to Door Ventures Inc and Door Ventures Ltd as opposed to the DOOR platform.
The purpose for this policy is to establish the minimum requirements for maintaining a “clean desk” – where sensitive/critical information about our employees, our intellectual property, our customers and our vendors is secure in locked areas and out of site. A Clean Desk policy is not only ISO 27001 compliant, but it is also part of standard basic privacy controls.
This policy applies to all Door employees and affiliates.
All printers should be cleared of papers as soon as they are printed; this helps ensure that sensitive documents are not left in printer trays for the wrong person to pick up.
The Information Security Program Manager, assisted by the Operations Manager, will verify compliance to this policy through various methods, potentially including but not limited to, periodic walk-thrus, video monitoring, business tool reports, audits, and feedback to the policy owner.
Any exception to the policy must be approved by DevOps Manager in advance.
An employee found to have violated this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
This policy will be reviewed as it is deemed appropriate, but no less frequently than every 12 months.
If you do not understand the implications of this policy or how it may apply to you, please seek advice from your line manager in the first instance.
