Frequently asked questions
What makes home office secure?
Managed, encrypted devices, MFA, VPN or targeted access, clear rules and trained employees.
May private devices be used for work?
A written policy should settle that (BYOD). Without management and data separation, risk rises.
Is a VPN mandatory for home office?
Not necessarily, but secured access to internal systems is needed, for example via VPN, mesh VPN or access to individual applications with MFA.
