There is no issue working from home on sensitive data when using the correct IT equipment. I used to work for Capita doing PIP assessments. I did my assessments at peoples homes and wrote my reports at home. I used a laptop with IL3 security, security dongles and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure HDD encryption. Computer users trying to upgrade to Windows 11 will be hearing quite a bit about TPM’s as they will be are a requirement for the upgrade.

IL3 standard allows for restricted data to be moved over public networks securely. This allowed me to access DWP databases at home. I doubt that the DVLA data has a higher security level that the DWP data.
