    To protect and keep secret the passwords used for management, and tochange them with the frequency established in the security document or currentregulations. The aforementioned passwords must be robust, that is to say theymust be composed of figures and letters and even, in systems that allow forthis, punctuation marks and specific characters, which are difficult to guess. Inparticular, care should be taken to avoid dictionary words, words that arerelated to the person (family name, address, date of birth etc.) or easy to guess(combination of names with months, prefixes and suffixes, etc.).

    To shut down, in an orderly way, the workstation at the end of the day. To notify any anomaly due to malfunction (hardware, software, computer
