Safeguarding Assets. All participants are responsible for reasonably safeguarding and protecting government issued equipment. The accountability and security of IT resources [See Section I.E.4] extends to your alternate worksite(s), residence, other approved telework location, and/or other areas in which you use, travel with, and store the equipment. When a participant chooses to work at a secondary alternate worksite they are responsible for safely and securely transporting equipment to and from the alternate worksites. Reasonable safeguards must be consistently exercised to ensure that government property is not vulnerable to any negligence or potential criminal activity. When a participant is assigned a piece of equipment, including the Universal Laptop, the participant is responsible for reasonable safeguards of its physical safety, as well as the data stored on it. Suggestions for safeguarding equipment and procedures for reporting lost, stolen, or damaged equipment are available on the USPTO's Asset Management intranet page. Participants will provide property custodians with all information requested to inventory assets and will provide timely notice of equipment changes and issues.
Safeguarding Assets. Company assets must be safeguarded not only against inadvertent loss, but also against intentional misappropriation.
