Clean Desk Policy: A corporate directive that specifies how employees should leave their working space when they aren’t there. This policy aims to protect sensitive information by ensuring that all papers, sticky notes, flash drives, and other information storage devices are properly stored away and secured when not in immediate use. It also includes shutting down computers or locking them when left unattended. Such a policy reduces the risk of sensitive data being exposed to unauthorized personnel or visitors.
