Corporate data and business secrets are an organization's primary business infrastructure.

Communicating security policies and procedures to employees, and getting their commitment to adopting such methods, is an important way of lowering the risk of loss or damage to your data and systems.

If your staff regularly use and process data, make them aware of data security and protection principles, and what actions might infringe on security or confidentiality.

Staff who use IT for their work need to know how to use systems and how to be security-conscious. If staff know the procedures to follow when systems fail, it will be easier for them to get back to work in such an event.

To create awareness about data security issues, it may be helpful to consider the following:

• Train staff to use systems correctly and give responsibility for backups.
• Communicate data security procedures and principles - consider obtaining signed declarations from anyone handling sensitive information.
• Plan how particular tasks will be carried out manually if technology breaks down.
• Set out IT good practice, including use of email, software and the internet, and the use of passwords. Draw staff attention to it by referring to it in employment contracts.
• Involve staff in a risk assessment and in regular reviews of your procedures. See the page in this guide on risk management.
