Data Security Measures

  1. Prohibited Usage:
    • Usage of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing software, free email services for transmitting confidential information, pirated or counterfeit software, and privately-owned devices for business purposes is strictly prohibited to prevent potential data leakage and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
  2. Management of Confidential Information:
    • Confidential information is clearly distinguished from other information and managed separately.
    • It is stored securely on servers, and rules are in place for taking confidential information out, with approvals from responsible management personnel required.
    • When digitized information is taken out or sent via email, encryption is used to secure the data.
    • Upon returning, digitized information is completely deleted from servers, PCs, PDAs, or storage media, and paper documents are shredded, dissolved, or incinerated with disposal records provided upon request.
  3. Security Protocols:
    • Users are required to create unique passwords, keep their security info updated, monitor for suspicious account activity, enable two-step verification, keep their operating systems, browsers, and other software updated, and install antivirus programs on their computers.
  4. Network Connections and Firewall:
    • The integrated Windows Defender Firewall must be enabled and running, and untrusted Wi-Fi networks must always be treated as public with no connection to public Wi-Fi networks when using company PCs as they pose a significant security risk.
  5. Antivirus and Malware Protection:
    • Antivirus programs must be installed on all computers, with regular updates and scans conducted to prevent malware-related breaches.
  6. Two-Step Verification:
    • Two-step verification is employed to enhance account security by requiring an additional security code sent to your phone or alternate email address, or generated by an authenticator app on your smartphone, alongside your password for sign-in.
