Stay Safe and Secure this Festive Season
Government Security would like everyone to stay safe and secure, both in and out of the workplace, this festive period.
Put security at the top of your list and together let’s have security ‘wrapped up’ this Christmas with these helpful tips:
- Avoid taking OFFICIAL documents or devices to festive parties. Leave them locked away at the office or at home
- Check your surroundings, be mindful of the conversations you are having when outside of the office environment

- Follow your organisations clear desk policy, store all information away safely and securely especially if you are going on holiday
- Check your departmental policy around the use of OFFICIAL devices overseas
