Remote Work

The full requirements are in the Information Security Policy → Remote working. This page is the practical summary.

​

Always

• Use your company laptop, with FileVault/BitLocker enabled.
• Keep endpoint protection running.
• Lock your screen whenever you step away — even at home.
• Use the company password manager and MFA.

​

VPN and Zero Trust access

Cloudflare One (WARP) is the standard VPN and Zero Trust access layer for all Neuroscale staff. Keep WARP running whenever your laptop is online; it is mandatory on public Wi-Fi, hotel networks, and any other untrusted network, and required at all times when transmitting Confidential information. Tailscale is restricted to engineers and operators with production-infrastructure access (Engineering On-call, System Owners, and similar). If your role does not include production-infrastructure management, you should not have Tailscale installed.

​

Home network

• Change the default Wi-Fi name, password, and admin credentials on your router.
• Use WPA3 (or WPA2 at minimum) with a robust password.
• For households with smart-home / IoT devices, consider a separate VLAN or guest network for those devices and put your work laptop on the main one.
• Disable WPS and UPnP if not needed.

​

Public computers

If you must access Neuroscale resources from a public computer (hotel business center, conference, etc.):

• Don’t check “remember me”.
• Don’t save anything.
• Log out of every session.
• Collect any printed materials.
• Don’t download files to a non-Neuroscale-controlled system.

​

Travel

For international travel — especially to higher-risk regions — coordinate with the CISO and CHRO before you go. You may receive a travel laptop.
