This document represents some key points of an online security policy  

• Traditional password protection on a laptop offers limited defence against a determined attacker because the attacker has unconstrained access to the physical device. Modern complex password techniques offer more protection but are not currently on widespread use. 
• The physical security controls that are possible within an NHS buildings environment are not available outside of that environment; therefore if procedural and personal controls of the laptop are breached the only effective technical measure that can be applied is cryptography. The Department of Health and NHS Connecting for Health provide well defined guidance based upon recommendations made by CESG and other good practice which if followed provides an adequate level of security. This includes pointers to relevant schemes and products suitable for protecting NHS information.
• Additional information on laptop protection and evaluated products is available through the CESG Internet website at www.cesg.gov.uk
• Encryption products are not difficult but must be used correctly in accordance with defined procedures, in particular the password and any token must be kept separate from the laptop; these are effectively the encryption key. Data is therefore only protected by encryption when the laptop is powered off and not in normal use. 

Question 

The laptop you use in your workplace stores very sensitive data of many important people. Which from the actions below is in accordance with the security policy mentioned above? 

Arrange the following sentences to form a sensible paragraph.

• Yet it only took relatively weak aftershocks to bring it down.

• Be able to respond to requests for information and complaints in line with the Council’s policy and the law
• Be impartial 
• Be courteous
• Provide high levels of customer service
• Comply with the rules around publishing information during the pre-election period

Official accounts must not

• Be political
• Criticise council policy
• Ignore people
• Block people, or delete comments unless they breach the Council’s acceptable use policy

1. The agency’s information security officer must review selected SNSM service providers, clients, and associated plug-ins to identify potential security vulnerabilities prior to their use.
2. To maintain security of SNMS network usernames and passwords, SNSM users must use a unique username/password combination that differs from their login ID and password for the SNMS network.
3. Sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, social security numbers and account numbers passed via SNSM can be read by parties other than the intended recipient(s).  Transferring sensitive information over SNSM is prohibited.
4. Peer-to-peer file sharing is not allowed through the SNMS network. SNSM clients are prohibited from use as peer-to-peer file-sharing.
5. Many SNSM clients provide file transfers. Policies and guidelines pertaining to e-mail attachments also apply to file transfer via SNSM.

Dear Mr. Stevenson:

Your company recently installed rain gutters on my house in Country Meadows. We paid $4545 for new gutters on every face of our two-story home. The work took place on 10/2/2019. Attached is a copy of the invoice showing the work was completed and paid in full.

We were very happy with the service we received and your crew was very kind and professional. Unfortunately, during the heavy snow storm we had last week, our new rain gutters on the north side of our house fell off. While I am not an expert, it appears that several of the fasteners were inadvertently left out during installation.

We ask that you send your crews back out to complete the job that was paid for, replacing the gutters that have detached and inspecting the remainder of the gutters for similar issues.

We look forward to hearing back from you in the next several days to confirm when you will be returning. We expect to see your crew within the next three weeks and will wait until then before contacting the state contractor’s license board.

Feel free to contact me at (123) 456-7890 to schedule or visit or with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

David Jones
