T 5.70 Manipulation by family members or visitors

Workstations at home are generally accessible to family members and visitors, so that they might be able to manipulate business-related data on the workstations if the data is not protected adequately. Possible scenarios here include the installation of private software (e.g. computer games) by family members, damage to IT by children, and misappropriation of business-related data media for use by unauthorised third parties. This type of inadvertent or intentional manipulation affects the confidentiality and integrity of the business-related information, as well as the availability of data and IT services on the workstation.
