Digital Safety in the Workplace (CSP-NMF-083)

Most workplace data breaches are caused by human error. An employee who clicks a phishing link, uses a weak password on a work account, or sends sensitive data to the wrong address can create a problem that costs a business hundreds of thousands of dollars and its reputation. Across 3 modules, you will learn what kinds of sensitive data exist in workplace contexts and how they must be protected, how to use work devices, email, and networks securely, and what your legal obligations are under the Australian Privacy Act and your employment contract. This course is designed for employees in any industry who handle digital information, managers responsible for team security compliance, and anyone starting a new job who wants to understand their digital responsibilities from day one.
