WELCOME TO THE MODULE
‘PRIVACY & SECURITY - FOR EMPLOYEES’

Indeed, welcome! You are about to embark on an interesting journey. A journey through the world of privacy and security. While that might not yet sound very exciting, pay close attention, because this module is not about all kinds of rules and protocols, but rather a procedure which will enable you to deal with information as securely as possible. It is about information which is valuable, such as your own personal data, the personal data of your colleagues and essentially all information which we as an education institution must properly protect.

You are confronted with all kinds of information in your work. Personal data, research reports, financial reports, sensitive policy information and photos and video clips. There are five principles which apply to the handling of that information. You will learn those principles in this online module.

And why is a group of people pictured in the opening photo of this module, if it is about digital and other kinds of information? Exactly! Because this module actually relates specifically to people. So it relates to you and the way in which you, your colleagues and all students deal with information. This is because human beings are both the weakest and the strongest link in this area...

## Goal of this module

After completing this module, you will know:

- what the five guiding principles are for guaranteeing that privacy and security are dealt with appropriately,
- how you can apply the principles together with your colleagues in a concrete manner in practice,
- who you can contact if you run into problems, or if you simply have questions about privacy or the protection of information.

## Structure of this module

This module consists of five chapters: we will cover one principle in each chapter. The five principles we will encounter are:

- Principle 1: Only use the ICT facilities provided by your employer for your work
- Principle 2: Make sure you always know who you are dealing with
- Principle 3: Work securely and reliably, at all times and everywhere
- Principle 4: Only allow the right people access to the right data
- Principle 5: Help each other on the path to the right behaviour

Each chapter is structured in the same manner, so that you can easily find your way around it. In each chapter, you will complete these steps:

- Stap 1: a concise summary of the principle
- Stap 2: a brief quiz, with which you can find out what you already know about the principle
- Stap 3: an explanation of the key terms which play a role in the principle
- Stap 4: an overview of the most important do's and don'ts from three practical scenarios
- Stap 5: a challenge you can carry out with your colleagues to test the degree to which you have already mastered this principle

## Duration of this module

It takes approximately 90 minutes to complete this module.
