Away from your usual environment.

BEFORE YOU GO

Update devices Back up everything Enable remote wipe Carry only the data the trip requires Note how you would reach support

THE MINIMAL DATA POINT

What is not with you cannot be lost.

WHILE TRAVELLING

Keep devices with you Use your own charger into a socket Avoid untrusted networks for anything sensitive Be aware of who can see your screen

WHAT TO AVOID

Public computers for anything business Leaving devices in rooms or vehicles Announcing your absence publicly

THAT LAST POINT

An out-of-office message stating you are away for two weeks is useful information to the wrong person.

Keep it brief.

IF A DEVICE IS LOST OR STOLEN

Wipe it remotely Change credentials it held Reset any authentication on it Report it

ON RETURN

Change any credential used on an untrusted network or device.

WHAT TO CHECK

That nothing was accessed while you were away.
