Postal Service™ employees and contractors must keep office spaces secure to protect USPS information and equipment. As more of the workforce returns to the office, it is essential to follow security protocols. Failure to do so puts both the workforce and the USPS® network at risk.
When stepping away from your desk or workspace, do the following:
n Lock your computer by clicking the “Windows key + L” or “CTRL + ALT + Delete.”
n Lock cabinets and drawers — and keep the keys with you.
n Don’t leave sensitive or sensitive-enhanced documents on your desk or at the printer.
When in the office:
n Keep your USPS badge visible at all times.
n Don’t open secure doors for unknown people.
n Ensure visitors check in with the security control officer.
n Never share or write down sensitive information such as passwords, security codes, or identification numbers.
n Shred sensitive and sensitive-enhanced documents using an approved shredder.
Following these physical security practices helps keep the USPS network safe. If you believe there’s a security issue, report it to your manager or CyberSafe@usps.gov.
