Workplace Laptop Security

Context

When people leave their laptop open, unlocked and unattended, this could be a big security breach. Especially when you have SSO on for multiple services.

Decision

Whenever a colleague will find your laptop open, unlocked, and unattended, they will message in the random Mattermost channel of the Rijks AI Validation team to bring a small treat, e.g. cookies or cake to the office the next thursday as a way of compensation.

Risks

  • We could have a big security breach if people leave their laptops unlocked and unattended.
  • People could become less healthy by eating many cookies.
  • People could become less trusting of other colleagues if they would be punished by bringing cookies to the office.

Assumptions

  • Everybody is in the RAV team in Mattermost
  • "Next Thursday" is assumed to be the office-day where most people are in the office of choice
  • This won't be abused by colleagues wanting to have free treats
