Policies for MacBook Users

Any User of an Ministry of Justice (MoJ)-supplied MacBook must ensure they comply with this policy, to ensure that security is not compromised when using these devices.

These Policies are supplementary to the GOV.UK and MoJ Enterprise policies, procedures and guidance.

If you are unsure about any of the requirements or content, ask for help.

Policies

  • You must not share your login details or password with anyone under any circumstances.
  • You must change your password if you suspect it has been compromised, or if instructed to do so by your line manager or other authorised individual.
  • You must not attempt to access any other person’s data unless you have been authorised to do so.
  • You must only collaborate with authorised personnel.
  • Get help if you are subjected to any security incident, or suspect you might be.
  • You must logoff or lock your computer when leaving it unattended.
  • You must keep your MoJ Digital& Technology equipment close to you and in sight at all times when in public areas.

Top things to remember
