3 Equipment security and passwords You are responsible for the security of the equipment allocated to, or used by you, and must not allow it to be used by anyone, other than in accordance with the guidance provided in this booklet. Passwords must be kept confidential and must not be made available to anyone else unless authorised by your local IT contact or your line manager. Passwords should be changed regularly. If you need to gain access to a colleague s mailbox or documents for a legitimate business reason, please contact your local IT contact, who will then follow the required approvals routine. Normally permission from the owner of the mailbox or document will be required in order for access to be granted. If you have been issued with a laptop, PDA (personal digital assistant) or any other mobile computing device, you must ensure that it is kept secure at all times by use of a password, especially when travelling. Loss of these devices should be reported to the relevant local law enforcement authority and to your local IT contact to allow appropriate security measures to be taken against potential misuse. Your computer terminal or workstation will automatically lock if it has remained inactive for 15 minutes or more and it is good practice to lock it manually by holding down the Ctrl, Alt and Delete keys when you leave it unattended for any reason. You should shut down your personal workstations when you leave the office each day. If your employment is terminated, you must provide details of your passwords to your local IT contact and return any equipment, key fobs or cards. Please also refer to the section Leaving Petrofac on page 14. 3

4 Removable storage devices If you need to store/read business related information on/from a removable storage device, such as a USB (universal serial bus) stick, SD (secure digital) card, CD (compact disc) or DVD (digital versatile disc), you must take care to ensure that the media is kept secure and files picked up outside of Petrofac systems are cleaned of viruses. To safeguard Petrofac systems and maintain confidentiality of data, Petrofac has implemented data leak prevention solutions, controlling and monitoring access to USB ports. 4

5 Systems and data security You should not alter the state of the computing systems by adding or removing programmes or hardware. All requests relating to such changes should be forwarded to your local IT contact or service desk. You should not download or install software from external sources without authorisation from the relevant IT department. No device or equipment should be attached to Petrofac s systems without the prior approval of the IT department. All s which pass through Petrofac systems are scanned for viruses. Your IT department should be informed immediately if a suspected virus is received, and in such circumstances, you should not open the unless requested to do so by a member of the IT department. Petrofac reserve the right to block access to attachments and block the transmission of any messages, in order to maintain the effectiveness of systems, in accordance with the guidance provided in this booklet. You should not attempt to gain access to restricted areas of the network, access information which is not addressed to, or intended for you, or to attempt to gain access to passwords, unless specifically authorised. 5

6 etiquette All business related s should be sent using the Petrofac network to ensure a complete record is retained and that the appropriate disclaimer is included. You should not use personal accounts for business, unless unavoidable (for example network failure). In such circumstance, a copy of any s sent or received in relation to Petrofac business should be forwarded to your Petrofac account. You should not send abusive, obscene, discriminatory, racist, harassing, derogatory or defamatory s. Anyone who feels that they have been harassed or bullied, or is offended by material received from a colleague via should inform their line manager. You should assume that messages may be read by individuals other than the intended recipient and therefore should not include anything which would offend or embarrass any reader, our organisation or themselves, if it found its way into the public domain. messages may be required to be disclosed in legal proceedings in the same way as paper documents and you should comply with any instructions or guidance issued by Group Head of Legal in relation to any pending proceedings or investigations. Deletion from an inbox or archives does not mean that an cannot be recovered for the purposes of disclosure. All messages should be treated as potentially retrievable, either from the main server or using specialist software. If you receive a wrongly delivered , this should be returned or notified to the sender. Auto-forwarding of Petrofac s to non Petrofac accounts is prohibited. 6

7 Use of the internet When a website is visited, devices such as cookies, tags or web beacons may be employed to enable the site owner to identify and monitor visitors. You should not therefore access any web page or download any files (whether documents, images or other) from the internet which could, in any way, be regarded as illegal, immoral or likely to cause offence. You should not use our systems to participate on our behalf in any internet chat room, post messages on any social media portals, or set up and log text or information on a blog or wiki, unless specifically authorised. Please also refer to the section Use of social media on page 10. As a general rule, if any person (whether intended to view the page or not) might be offended by the contents of a page, or if the fact that our software has accessed the page or file might be a source of embarrassment if made public, then viewing it will be a breach of the guidance provided in this booklet. 7

Petrofac has adopted five social media principles you should adhere to before engaging in any type of social media activity: Whilst using social media; take care when sharing personal details and avoid sharing personal information, especially about any travel plans make it clear in any social media postings that you are speaking on your own behalf (i.e. write in the first person and use personal addresses when communicating via social media) and if you do own a personal web page or any type of social media site which in any way makes reference to your employment with us, display the following notice on that site: the views expressed on this website/blog are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of their employer never reveal contact details or photographs of other employees, suppliers, or other stakeholders without their permission never report details of your work or business travel plans, discuss any details of current or past projects or performance, or speculate on future activity of Petrofac (as Petrofac is listed on the London Stock Exchange, disclosure of forward looking information is highly regulated and any disclosure of sensitive or forward looking information online will be treated extremely seriously by management) you should not do anything to jeopardise our valuable trade secrets and other confidential information and intellectual property You are personally responsible for what you communicate in social media so bear this in mind before posting content and be sure it complies with any restrictions under local state/country laws. 11
