Remote Work Requires Clear Rules

Remote work is here to stay, but it introduces security risks that an office-only policy does not cover. Employees working from home, cafes, or co-working spaces connect from untrusted networks, use personal devices, and are outside the physical security perimeter. A remote work policy addresses these risks.

Key Sections

  • Eligibility: Which roles can work remotely. Approval process. Frequency limits.
  • Security Requirements: VPN mandatory for accessing company systems. Screen lock after 5 minutes. No public WiFi without VPN. Encrypted WiFi at home.
  • BYOD Guidelines: Minimum device requirements. Company's right to remote-wipe work data. Data separation. Support scope.
  • Data Protection: No printing at home unless approved. No storing company data on personal devices. No sharing screens in public spaces.
  • Expense Policy: What the company reimburses (internet, coworking space). What it does not (personal device purchase).
