A secure login cannot stop someone from walking away with an unattended laptop. Protecting information also means thinking about where equipment sits and who can reach it.
Review visitor access, screen locking, storage areas, and the location of network equipment. Keep a record of assigned devices and establish a prompt reporting process for loss or theft. Before equipment leaves your control, use an appropriate data sanitization process and record the disposal or transfer.
Focus on routine behavior as well as hardware. Simple responsibilities for locking up, escorting visitors, and reporting missing devices help employees understand their role in protecting the systems the business relies on.
