What will be an ideal response?


There are several human activities in the workplace that can compromise information security. In
some cases, common activities compromise existing physical security measures. For example,
employees may leave file cabinets unlocked, fail to lock offices when not in them, leave
information unsecured and available for others to view and take, hold secure doors open for
other individuals (defeating physical security), allow individuals to “tailgate” or follow a person
through a secure portal without using their access control device, write passwords on documents
or calendars and Post-it notes in offices, and fail to shut down or log off on workstations. In fact,
information security could even be compromised because of a messy desk or an unorganized
office. By failing to have a “clean desk” where information is properly organized, the theft of
information in a disorganized, cluttered, or “dirty” office may not be readily detected
