This course is mandatory and all Glasgow Life colleagues are required to take it each year to comply with our core IT policies.

Why is information security important?

Information security is a fundamental part of our everyday tasks. For example, it includes wearing your security ID badge to access your workplace; taking a business phone call; emailing a supplier or attending a meeting with a customer. 

It is vital that we all understand and know how to keep the information and IT equipment we use safe and secure and know what to do if it is accidentally lost or shared with the wrong person. This helps to protect our systems, colleagues, customers, buildings and reputation.
