Laptop Secutiry

Traveling with your laptop is a great way to keep up with your office work and to keep in touch with others. Laptop users should, however, be mindful of keeping their business laptops in their possession at all times. OIT-Security and Compliance reminds users that if you do loose your university-owned laptop (or other university-owned equipment) for whatever reason, North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 114-15.1 requires NC State employees to report this incident to their immediate supervisor within three days of the lost. Your supervisor should contact the Office of Legal Affairs to file form SBI 78 with the State Bureau of Investigation within 10 days. You should also file a police report with the local police department in the area where the equipment was lost or stolen.
