Whether you’re stepping away from your desk for a quick coffee, heading into a meeting, or just popping out for a few minutes, it’s important to take a few simple steps to protect your devices and sensitive information. Building good habits like these is a key part of maintaining strong cyber awareness in the workplace.
At Platform 365, we know that effective cyber awareness isn’t just about software and systems — it’s about empowering your people. Small actions, repeated daily, can have a big impact on your overall security posture. As a trusted IT Support provider, we work closely with businesses to improve not only their infrastructure but also their internal cyber awareness and cyber security best practices.
That’s why we’ve created a simple, print-ready reminder poster with clear, practical steps your team can follow every time they leave their desk. By encouraging these habits, you’ll strengthen your business’s approach to cyber awareness from the ground up.
Here’s what the poster covers:
✅ 1. Lock Your Devices
Why? It prevents unauthorised access and helps protect confidential data while you’re away from your desk.
Shortcuts:
Windows: Win + L
Mac: Cmd + Control + Q
This is one of the fastest and easiest ways to reinforce cyber awareness across your organisation.
✅ 2. Lock Away Sensitive Data
Why? Leaving printed documents or notes out in the open can result in data leaks or breaches.
Best Practice: Secure paperwork in drawers or lockable cabinets — and shred anything no longer needed. This supports your physical data security and strengthens overall cyber awareness.
✅ 3. Take Your Mobile With You
Why? Phones often contain access to business emails, apps, and contacts. Taking it with you reduces the risk of theft or misuse, reinforcing everyday cyber awareness.
