3 1. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to make users aware of the requirements that need to be met when using Trust PCs to ensure secure use. This policy is also designed to adhere to the BS7799 standard. 2. Scope This policy applies to all employees of the Trust in all locations including the Non-Executive Directors, temporary employees, locums and contracted staff. 3. Roles and Responsibilities The Head of IT will publicise appropriate PC security standards and guidelines. The Head of IT will also ensure they are conformed to and will monitor compliance where necessary. 4. Acquisition of Computer Assets Please refer to IM&T Procurement Policy (IM&T03) In addition the IT Department will hold a central asset register of all PC Hardware and Software, for auditing and software licensing compliance. 5. PC Security Each PC user will take personal responsibility for the security of the equipment, software and data under his/her control. Line managers will ultimately be responsible for ensuring that users under their management are aware of this and that adequate security measures are in place to protect these assets. IT Security reviews can be undertaken by the Head of IT or Data Protection Lead PC s and peripherals (scanners, printers and barcode readers etc.) will be switched off when not in use for long periods of time. PC s will, where practical, be physically protected from exposure to: Excessive heat, cold and humidity Dust Magnetic fields Static Electricity Liquids A PC or peripheral will only be opened (to expose its electronic components) and worked on by authorised Trust IT staff. It is the responsibility of the user or their line manager to verify the identity of the person attending to any equipment to ensure they are authorised individuals. PC Security Policy 2

4 Only computer software authorised by the IT Department will be loaded onto or used on PCs that are or may be connected to the Trust s network infrastructure. Only the members of the IT Department is permitted to load software on to PCs in use in the Trust. PCs that are fitted with locks or other security devices will be secured when left unattended. Any key, token or other device will be removed and retained by the user for safekeeping. All PCs are to be logged off or locked (Windows + l) when left unattended. Master copies of software will be held in the IT department. No member of staff will use a PC without proper authority i.e must have a valid user name and password which was issued to the user using the system. Any suspected unauthorised use of a PC will need to be reported in line with the Trust s Incident Reporting procedures. PCs identified by managers as at risk (defined as at risk of unauthorised access) will be protected by a BIOS password (start-up password) or other security measures as deemed appropriate by the Head of IT. Server and PCs that are used as servers will be clearly marked, be physically separated from the LAN PCs and located in a secure area. 5.1 Software Copyright Each PC user will ensure that no one loads unauthorised (pirate) software on his/her PC. This is to ensure that all software on the PC is properly licensed and registered as required by law under the The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act Each PC user will ensure that no illegal copies of the software are made from either software that is resident on his/her PC or from media in his/her possession. The IT Department retains the right to remove any illegal or unauthorised software. Software resident on the PC will be deleted if the PC is being disposed of (see Disposal of PC and Printer Equipment Policy (IMT04), or if the original version of the software is passed on to another individual or PC with the Trust. 5.2 The Data Protection Act 1998 Each PC user will need to be familiar with the Data Protection Act before using a PC. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure compliance with the Act. It is also the responsibility of the user to read and comply with the Trust s Data Protection Policy (CP15). PC Security Policy 3

5 Each user will ensure that any personal data processed on his/her PC is covered by, or exempt from, Data Protection Registration and also complies with security standard BS7799. Further information about the Data Protection Registration and BS7799 are available from the Head of IT. New systems will be assessed to identify the need for notification and registration of the data usage under the Act. All full risk assessment and compliance with BS 7799 will also be sort before connection to the Trust s LAN (Local Area Network). 5.3 Password Security Passwords will always be allocated by the Systems Managers in a manner which classifies the level of the most sensitive data held on the system to which a user is allowed access. In the majority of cases passwords are allocated to individuals for their specific access to a system, which must not be shared with anyone else. The only current exception to this is the system where some mailboxes are set-up for shared access (e.g. all Ward staff). In these exceptions the username for the system will be a shared name (i.e. Ward name), rather than an individual s name. No one should use a username and password to access a system where that password has been allocated to another individual for their sole use. This is a strict breach of IM&T Security Policies. 5.4 Good Password Practice Each member of staff will have his/her individual username and password for the system(s) that they access. All Trust PCs will have automatically activate the screensaver if left idle for 15 minutes. Regaining access to the PC will require the user to input their password. The Library public access PCs are exempt from this. PCs when left unattended for anytime, must either be logged off the Network, screen saver activated or workstation locked (Windows NT, 2000 & XP only). When someone leaves the Trust or no longer requires access to a particular system, his/her line manager must notify the IT Helpdesk of the date that access is no longer required and access will be removed. Where it is necessary to write down a password (e.g. business continuity) it will be stored in a secure place. E.g. they must not be pinned to notice boards, left inside desk drawers, attached to keyboards or in places that are easy to access. Passwords will not been displayed on screens as they are entered. Where temporary passwords are known to systems managers or IT staff (e.g. granting access to new users or systems maintenance), the user will change the password immediately on receipt. PC Security Policy 4

6 If you suspect that your password has been breached change your password immediately and report the incident for normal Trust incident reporting procedures. Passwords must consist of a minimum of 6 characters, at least one of which will need to be a non-alpha character. Passwords will not relate to the system being accessed. Password will not relate to the user e.g. family names pet names, football teams etc. 5.5 Password Maintenance Password will be changed regularly (at least every three months or as specified in the Secure Operating Procedures for the system). Each time a password is changed a new password will be used. Reuse of passwords is not permitted. Passwords will always be changed immediately in the event that it is suspected to be known by others. Password software will ask the user for re-authentication by re-entering the old password before accepting a change of password. The new password will also need to be entered twice to ensure accuracy. Password data will be held on computer systems in encrypted form. Automated log-on procedures may contain passwords but will themselves be protected. 5.6 Prevention from Software Viruses Adequate back-up procedures must be established for PCs, documented and followed. It is recommended that users store their documents on a server to ensure back up, if you require this facility contact IT Helpdesk Procedures will be developed and used in conjunction with software developed by a reputable supplier for virus checking all disks received. Users are responsible for checking that files received on either removable media, attachments or from Internet/Intranet download are virus scanned before use. If an officially provided PC is used away from Trust premises, authorised Trust staff will only use it. Users are also required to ensure that virus detection signatures are updated regularly (once a month at a minimum). The IT Department have established procedures for regular, and recored, virus checking on all PCs connect to the Trust s LAN. 5.7 Actions against Software Viruses PC Security Policy 5

7 If an infected PC is detected, the procedure will be to: Report the incident to the IT Helpdesk Virus checking of all other possibly infected PCs Isolating the PC immediately e.g. if connected to the LAN the PC will be removed to prevent further infection. Preventing the use of the infected PC again until its reuse has been approved by the Head of IT. Removal of the Virus. Data will be reloaded from the most recent clean back-up if necessary. 6. Hardware and Software Procurement Please consult IM&T Procurement Policy (IMT03) The procurement procedures will take into account the need for hardware and software compatibility needed to support the system s contingency and recovery arrangements. Hardware or software changes which may affect the network management or other operational sites, will be agreed by all parties affected. On-going maintenance arrangements (defining levels of maintenance and minimum levels of performance) will be the subject of contractual agreement i.e. Service Level Agreement (SLA). 6.1 System Installation Only staff from or authorised by the IT Department are permitted to install hardware or software. 6.2 Maintenance Only staff from or authorised by the IT Department are permitted to allowed access to hardware or software for maintenance purposes. 6.3 Disposal/Relocation of Equipment For disposal of PC and Printer equipment refer to the Disposal of PC and Printer Equipment Policy (IMT04) and for disposal of Media please refer to the Disposal of Media Policy (IMT 06). The IT department will need to be involved in the disconnection and reconnection of all PC related equipment from the network to ensure continuity of service, however Hotel Services will need to be contacted for equipment to be moved. Disconnection and reconnections of PC equipment by non IT staff may result in the PC not functioning properly in it s new location, requiring immediate attention from an IT Technician and disrupting the IT Helpdesk service to other departments. Departments should give 2 weeks notice to the IT department to ensure that the work is scheduled appropriately. PC Security Policy 6

8 Where a substantial quantity of IT equipment is to be relocated a co-ordinator will be identified for the move. The relocation co-ordinator will compile a detailed list of all equipment (including serial numbers) being moved prior to the move and again on arrival. 7. Equality The Trust recognises the diversity of the local community and those in its employ. Our aim is therefore to provide a safe environment free from discrimination and a place where all individuals are treated fairly, with dignity and appropriately to their need. The Trust recognises that equality impacts on all aspects of its day to day operations and has produced an Equality Policy Statement to reflect this. All policies and procedures are assessed in accordance with the Equality initial screening toolkit, the results for which are monitored centrally. This policy has undergone the initial screening process in line with the Trust s Race Equality Scheme and has shown a low level of impact. 8. Training and awareness The requirement of this policy will be brought to the attention of staff via the Trust s induction training programme. A copy of this policy will be available to all staff via the Trust s Intranet web pages. Awareness of the policy will be raised through Hysbysrwydd and Team Brief. 9. Review This policy will be reviewed in 3 years time. Earlier review may be required in response to exceptional circumstances, organisational change or relevant changes in legislation or guidance. 10. Discipline Breaches of this policy will be investigated and may result in the matter being treated as a disciplinary offence under the Trust s disciplinary procedure. PC Security Policy 7
