RE: Screen Locking


That would be great. I brought this up at our DSS Supervisor meeting yesterday. The consensus that the inactivity timeframe should be 5 minutes.  I know that isn’t long, but we cannot afford to have another incident of noncompliance with an audit.

Let me know when this will be in effect.

Linda, we can control that for you though group policy if you like.  That way you aren’t dependent on an employee manually configuring that setting.  I just need to know how long of inactivity before the screen locks.  I think 10-15 minutes is usually a good time to use.  What are your thoughts?  Thanks.

Good morning,

DSS needs to implement automatic screen locking (sleep?) when not in use of a period of time. This is to ensure that access to client information is not allowed when a worker leaves their office. They are instructed to lock their computer, but sometimes forget.  Should we send out an email with instructions on how to set settings or is there a way for you to do this for all our computers?  I am ok with either way. Is the screen shot I attached the correct way (sleep?) to do this? Is there a suggested timeframe usually used?

Thank you.
