1. Ensure your device is BYOD compliant.
My smartphone, tablet, or computer is up-to-date (meets the requirements below) and is capable of receiving future security updates.
- Windows – Windows 10 operating system with the latest security updates released on February 11th, 2020.
- Mac – macOS Mojave 10.14.6 or macOS Catalina 10.15.2 with the latest security updates released on January 28th, 2020.
- iPhones/iPads – iOS 13 operating system with the latest Safari browser
- Android – Android 8.0+ operating system with the latest Google Chrome browser
My device is free of viruses, malicious software, and has a reasonable security configuration that includes a password or screen lock so that it can’t be easily used while left unattended.
2. Check your VPN access.
I’ve set up GHC’s VPN software using the instructions provided online at https://www.highlands.edu/vpn/
3. Know how to access your office phone while away from your office.
I’ve reviewed the information available on the Information Technology section of the Intranet (https://intranet.highlands.edu/information-technology/).
4. Know what kind of data you are authorized to handle on a personal device.
I understand that I may NOT handle sensitive Personally Identifiable Information, such as Social Security Numbers or federal or state identification numbers using a personal device.
I have read GHC’s Data Classification and Security policy online.
5. Sign up for GHC Notify
I’ve signed up for GHC Notify for emergency alerts and I’ve ensured that my contact information is correct online at https://intranet.highlands.edu/ghcnotify
