3.4.5 COMPUTER MAINTENANCE<br />

Password Security<br />

Storage <strong>of</strong> Data<br />

Virus Protection<br />

Backup <strong>of</strong> Data<br />

Access to all HSSP Computers at ALL LOCATIONS is to be protected by using a password.<br />

This restricts access to the only person(s) entitled to see and use the information. It also prevents<br />

the possibility <strong>of</strong> accidental loss <strong>of</strong> data.<br />

See Section 16 Filing and Archives for the correct method <strong>of</strong> storing records on the computer.<br />

Reliable Virus Protection programs should be installed and REGULARLY UPDATED on every<br />

computer used in the program.<br />

The local Administrator should take separate MONTHLY, WEEKLY and DAILY backup <strong>of</strong> all<br />

files onto removable media (CD, Zip disk etc.) and these backups should be stored in a safe place<br />

preferably at a separate location.<br />

Emergency Precautions<br />

Electrical systems supporting IT equipment should have an appropriate Uninterrupted Power<br />

Supply (UPS) system in place complete with backup batteries.<br />
