COVID-19 has undoubtedly transformed the manner in which businesses are now operating. With the “stay-at-home” order that had been issued by the Government of Jamaica, all non-essential employees across Government and the private sector were encouraged to work from home (“WFH”).
Though the stay-at-home order has been lifted, many employers have decided to keep WFH arrangements in place. Employers must assess both the benefits and risks associated with such arrangements, and a data protection breach is one such risk that must be considered.
To whatever extent possible, employers should seek to provide employees with work-specific devices so as to avoid the use of personal devices for work matters.
