Dave Williams, Materials Manager at 3M UK PLC, introduces 3M bright screen privacy filters for laptops that enhance on-screen privacy and compliance in the public sector
In today’s digital age, the public sector is increasingly reliant on technology to deliver services efficiently and securely.
From government agencies to public health organisations, the need for robust data protection measures has never been more critical. One often overlooked aspect of data security is on-screen privacy.
Imagine working on sensitive documents in a public space, only to have prying eyes catch a glimpse of confidential information. This is where 3M Bright Screen Privacy Filters for Laptops come into play, offering a simple yet effective solution to enhance on-screen privacy and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
The growing need for on-screen privacy
The public sector handles a vast amount of sensitive information, ranging from personal data to classified documents. With the rise of remote work and the increasing use of mobile devices, the risk of visual hacking – where someone can see your screen without your knowledge – has escalated. According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, 91% of visual hacking attempts are successful, and it takes just 15 minutes for a hacker to obtain sensitive information by simply glancing at an unprotected screen.
Moreover, regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandate stringent data protection measures. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and damage to an organisation’s reputation. Therefore, ensuring on-screen privacy is not just a matter of security but also a compliance requirement.
