- Think about who you are talking to - not all information needs to be shared. Also think about where you are when you speak - others can listen, for example in public areas.
- Think about what you're talking about on the phone - it may be intercepted.
- Hold mobile-free meetings. Confidential meetings should be held without mobiles and other digital devices in the room.
- Be critical of people who show particular interest in you, including on social media.
- Pay attention to guests' movements, photography and access to digital devices.
- Be aware of suspicious behavior and uninvited guests in general.
- Be careful when traveling. You are more exposed when you are away. Consider the risk and bring only what is necessary.
- Map and take care of your information worthy of protection - both physically and digitally.
- Speak up if you see anything. Report suspicious incidents to your security organization, and jointly decide whether you should also report the incident to the Police or directly to PET by secure email PET@politi.dk.
