Setup guide

Work securely anywhere

Build a consistent, protected setup for home, office, hybrid and mobile work.

Step 1

A consistent workstation

Issue an encrypted business device with managed protection, multi-factor authentication and the applications each person needs. Add suitable monitors, docks, webcam and input devices for their working pattern.

Step 2

Reliable local connectivity

Check broadband and Wi-Fi where work happens. Use mesh Wi-Fi or properly positioned access points where needed, and keep router credentials and firmware under control.

Step 3

Secure access

Prefer managed cloud access and least-privilege permissions. Where a VPN or secure gateway is required, configure and monitor it centrally rather than leaving it to individual users.

Step 4

Joined-up collaboration

Standardise email, files, meetings and business calls so people can work consistently without moving business information into personal accounts or unapproved apps.

Step 5

Remote support and recovery

Keep devices visible to the support team, back up essential cloud information and document how a lost device, account problem or connectivity failure will be handled.
