Challenge & further assistance

Let's get to work!

Now you know how you can help each other learn the right behaviour when it comes to privacy and security. Now it's time to test how well you can put this into practice!

On this page, you will find a fun and educational ‘challenge’ you and your colleagues can do together. With this challenge, you and your colleagues will decide yourself which goals in relation to privacy and security you want to have achieved together by the end of the week.

By jointly formulating concrete goals, talking about these and then also trying to achieve them, you and your colleagues can collectively contribute to an increased awareness when it comes to privacy and security.

Good luck!


 

Challenge: Our mission!

 

Goal: to achieve your team's objectives through collaboration and thus raise awareness with regard to privacy and security.

Participants: it is recommended to only do this challenge with a limited number of employees, since all team members may end up seeing personal data about each other. Sufficient trust must exist between team members to be able take on this challenge together.

Execution: In this challenge, you and your colleagues will develop your own objectives, depending upon the subject which you wish to focus on. In so doing it is important that these are objectives which can be achieved jointly as a team and of which the progress can easily be verified at the end of a week, for instance. These can include for example that no one has left sensitive information in the rubbish bin, that no one has left a computer screen unlocked or, alternatively, a combination of various objectives.

To carry out this challenge, you should complete the following steps:

  1. Put together the team which will carry out this challenge, keeping in mind that participants may be able to view personal information about each other after one week.
     
  2. Communicate the rules to all participating employees:

- For an entire week, we will try to [fill in your own objectives here]

- Keep doing your work wherever possible as usual, but try to pay extra attention during this week to all matters relating to your chosen objectives.

- We will take on this challenge together. If, by the end of the week, we have achieved the objective(s) together then [fill in a reward for the entire team, where applicable].

- Help each other wherever possible, call each other to account (in a friendly manner) for blunders and explain why you are calling that person to account for this.

- Keep your activities safe, don't touch any of your colleagues’ things and report any serious data breaches you discover to each other immediately. The object is to increase awareness, not to pillory or make a fool of each other.

  1. At the end, the team leader will check together with the players whether the objective(s) has/have been achieved.
     
  2. The challenge will end with an evaluation discussion, in which the participants will discuss the objectives with each other and wherever possible, reach agreements for handling sensitive information more carefully both online and offline.
     
  3. Celebrate the victory if the objective(s) has/have been achieved!
