What is an Clean Desk Policy?
A clean desk policy is a rule a company puts in place in order to make sure that employees keep their desks clear of sensitive information and any other items that may be considered a risk to safety and security. Companies implement these policies in order to enhance security, safeguard sensitive information, lower the risk of identity theft, and maintain a clean space.
Examples of terms included in a clean desk policy include:
- Important files or documents should be placed in a locked cabinet or drawer when the employe is away from the desk
- Laptops and other devices should be logged off or password protected
- Desks and work areas should be cleared at the end of each shift or workday
It’s easy to write a policy of your own, and you don’t have to pay a lawyer to do it. Get started on your own clean desk policy with our ready-to-use templates.
