In the case of paper and desktops, is a locked office sufficient physical security measures?
No. Because of the access to offices afforded to various people in the university it is important to recognize that a locked door is not adequate. Consider securing desktops with retaining cables or locking files in a secured cabinet for protection. Some desktop systems are as easy to take as a mobile device because of their size. Additionally, consider training faculty, students and support staff to question anyone who appears to be moving/transporting equipment or files from a locked room – even if they suspect the individual may have a legitimate reason to do so.
