When to use this template

Use this Clean Desk and Clear Screen Policy template and remove the need to have a separate Clean Desk Policy and Clear Screen Policy. The clean desk policy will encourage employees in your organisation to reduce the threat of a security incident and of information loss. Further, a cleared screen helps to ensure that confidential information is not viewed on employee devices by unauthorised persons while away from their desk.

Key issues covered in this template

  • Geographical scope of policy
  • Storage of keys
  • ISMS manager responsibilities
  • Clear desk principles
  • Password creation and cryptographic controls

What to watch out for

  • A clear screen and clean desk policy are necessary for ISO 27001/17799 compliance
