My partner should now do home office and use my own computer. He should connect to work using a VPN and remote connection.
However, there's very confidential data and my friend's laptop is also used privately.
So far there's only one verbal agreement between him and his employer.
Who is responsible if something happens?
What would you advise us how we / he should deal with it?
It is recommended to set up a virtual machine for work and only connect it to the VPN.
Otherwise, he is liable at the moment if it would have been reasonable for him to save the data (gross negligence). Otherwise, the employer is generally liable.
Oral declarations are usually also legally valid.
If you work professionally, you are covered by your company's liability.
So he doesn't have to be given anything in writing? If a virus should come onto your computer when used privately (it does not use dubious sites, but you never know) that it does not have to be liable?
So there's already anti-virus protection on the computer… But you never know… Is that already grossly negligent if you continue to use your private computer privately?
Virtual machine? Unfortunately, we have no idea…
With a virtual machine, you have a second computer on your PC. A second, separate operating system.
Instructions are available on the Internet, that would be the safest solution.
Ah perfect, I'll have a look.
