Mobile Working
Connections MUST employ at least the following controls in the short term:
- Dual factor authentication
- A secure VPN tunnel between the client and GSi connected network that does not permit split tunnelling
- Protection on the client in the form of a personal firewall (which may be incorporated into the VPN client)
- Make use of computing equipment owned by the organisation rather than the individual

When provided with a device we request that this is done in a manner as though the device had been stolen from an employee from a public place. We request that the entire laptop or device carrier is provided including any paperwork which is in any cases. An analysis of the contents of the device carrier will also be included in the report. Testing will consist of attempted access to the device without authentication devices or provided passwords. A second phase of testing will also be undertaken with full authentication provided allowing the testers access to the device as an employee would have.

Securing Your Future with Two-Factor Authentication Do you really know who's accessing your most sensitive networked information assets? Unfortunately, security built on static, reusable passwords has proven easy for hackers to beat. RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication is based on something you know (a password or PIN) and something you have (an authenticator)—providing a much more reliable level of user authentication than reusable passwords.
