Security & IT
Security measures in a telework environment should cover information systems and technology, and all other aspects of the information systems used by the employee, including paper files, other media, storage devices, and telecommunications equipment (e.g., laptops, PDAs, and cell phones). It is important to remember that just because employees are working from home or another approved alternate location, it is their responsibility to protect and manage the records and other sensitive information stored on telework devices and transmitted across external networks. Employees who telework from home need to keep Government property and information safe, secure, and separated from their personal property and information.
