The necessary procedures for obtaining, siting and using a secure cabinet are described in this module. This module describes the measures required to set up a telecommuting workstation with an appropriate security standard in such a way that it can be used for official tasks. A computer centre comprises the facilities and premises necessary to operate a large data processing system installed centrally for a number of offices. This module contains recommendations as to security measures for a computer centre whose security requirements lie between those of a server room and those of a high-security computer centre. This module specifies the safeguards to be observed when using a normal PC that is routinely used by a single user.
Subjects covered include password protection, use of a virus detection program, regular backup.
This module considers IT systems which run under the UNIX or Linux operating systems and are operated either on a stand-alone basis or as a client in a network. Terminals or PCs which are run as terminals can be connected. Both organisational and UNIX-specific safeguards are listed. Examples of additional safeguards which apply to laptop PCs are suitable safe-keeping during mobile use and use of an encryption product. This module specifies the safeguards which must be adhered to when using a normal PC which is routinely used by several users.
