SB056 Highlights security controls that prevent or disrupt ability to work sensibly

Sometimes security controls can prevent or disrupt job activity. In these instances controls may be ignored to keep productivity up. Disruptive security controls should be brought to the attention of supervisors and security teams.


Why is it important?

Following the guidance in security policies can sometimes interfere with employee productivity. This can lead to people taking shortcuts, potentially weakening security and putting data at risk.

It's important to highlight security controls that prevent or disrupt the ability for employees to work sensibly so they can be amended.
