Access control

The users will be expected to supply a password to be used in conjunction with each user ID. The use of a user ID is strictly for the use of that user only, and passwords may not be divulged to any other party. Users are obliged to change passwords frequently, and to avoid using a password that could easily be guessed (own first name, name of spouse etc.). Users must log out (sign off) when leaving your workstation un-attended. For short periods of absence the Santam System will time out for security purposes and users will be required to log in again.
The Supplier is entirely responsible to manage its portfolio on the Santam System by complying, inter alia, with the following: ?

? Ensure that passwords of all users are kept confidential (no user must give the password to anyone else);

? Notify the Company immediately of any unauthorised use (use that you did not consent to) of users ID?s and/or passwords or any other breach of security that users know of;
? The Supplier shall be liable for losses suffered by the Company or a third party due to someone other than a user using the user?s user ID and/or password.

Responsibilities
Users are fully responsible for the data in their possession, and it is the user?s responsibility to ensure that it is adequately protected against unauthorized access.
