Work From Home Cybersecurity Basics Checklist: Business Planning and Preparedness


Summary

This checklist identifies key data security and privacy business planning issues to consider for companies with work from home (WFH) employees. As the COVID-19 pandemic forced more employees than ever to move to a home office environment, businesses faced new and different data privacy and security risks. While the acute phase of the pandemic is over, many employees remain in WFH positions. This change is not lost on U.S. regulators, but it does not mean that businesses will get a pass on data privacy and security issues potentially caused by the shift in working conditions.
