Working from home safely

A short checklist for home offices.

Updated September 21, 2026

  • Use your work computer for work only, and do not let family members use it.
  • Keep your home router updated and change its default password. Ask us if you want help.
  • Use a strong Wi-Fi password, and do not share it widely.
  • Lock your screen when you step away, even at home.
  • Keep printed papers with customer details in a drawer, and shred them when you are done.
  • Do not forward work files to personal email or save them on personal devices.
  • Keep updates on. See Install Windows updates.
