From #8

The one piece of the Data Handling Training not integrated is "cryptographic erasure is required when decommissioning devices, simple deletion or reformatting is not sufficient." This is lightly covered in Training 3 (IT Operations: Change, Configuration & Patch Management Module D — Endpoint Posture and Privileged Access). I don't believe we need to tell IT how to cryptographically erase, as modern encrypted disk key destruction handles it (and we get an ITAD cert).

Updated project description to clarify the source of learning outcomes and the nature of the training courses.

Only about half way through, but figured I should share what I have - lots of feedback, but actually I think the training is really good - very clear and concise, just a few factual things to fix :)

- **Auto-lock** — your screen locks automatically after a short idle period
- **Automatic patching** — your OS and security software stay up to date

> **Important:** You must use your CivicActions-managed laptop for all work involving Internal, Confidential, or client data. Personal (BYOD) mobile devices can only be used for MFA prompts and communication apps — and even then, they need an MDM profile for isolation.

I don't think people will know what BYOD or MDM profile means - for the latter we can say something like "a mobile device may require specific security settings as part of login".

Quite a few uses of MDM elsewhere also

- **Never use personal accounts** (like a personal Gmail) for CivicActions work
- CivicActions uses a `firstname.lastname@civicactions.com` naming convention — IT sets this up when you onboard. If your name matches someone else's, IT adds a middle initial or variation.

> **Example:** When you join, PeopleOps verifies your identity through Rippling. IT then creates your Google Workspace account, assigns you to the right groups and Slack channels, and issues your YubiKey — all before your first day.
