Explanation

A clean desk policy requires employees to clear their workspaces of all sensitive documents, removable media, and physical materials at the end of each workday. This directly addresses the risk of a cleaning crew or other after-hours personnel accessing confidential paper files. A social media policy governs online behavior. A data retention policy covers how long data is stored and disposed of. A CCTV policy is a detective control that may deter but doesn't prevent access to documents left out.
