is within your job role to deal with such requests)
Displaying information in a way that unauthorised person could see it, for
example:
Leaving workstations unlocked and Smartcards in PCs;
Leaving records unattended or insecure
Disposing of confidential information inappropriately;
Giving out confidential information in person, over the telephone, by fax or email
