ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). When working from home, there are several measures you can take to comply with ISO 27001 requirements:
- Ensure that your remote access to organisational systems and networks is secure. This can be done by using secure VPN connections and multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms.
- Make sure that your home devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets are secure and up-to-date with the latest software patches and antivirus protection.
- Ensure that sensitive information is not exposed to unauthorised individuals by encrypting files and using secure communication channels. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks or unsecured home networks for work purposes.
- Follow organisational policies related to information security, including those related to data classification, access control, and data retention.
- Regularly review and monitor your remote access and data security measures to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities.
By implementing these measures, you can maintain the security of your organisation’s information while working from home and comply with ISO 27001 requirements.
