SB048 Uses a privacy screen when working with sensitive information in shared spaces

Privacy screens prevent opportunistic onlookers from viewing sensitive information. They should be used when working in shared spaces.


Why is it important?

Screens can be an easy way to obtain information. Onlookers can watch a screen and retrieve information without interacting with the device. Privacy screens prevent a screen from being viewed at certain angles.
