--- Comment #1 from Peter Knoppers <[email protected]> ---
I'll attempt to summarize the settings that the German Bundesamt fuer
Sichterheit in der Informationstechnik suggest to change from their current
defaults.

RemovePersonalInfoOnSaving: change from Deactivated to Activated (reason: the
author can accidentally store personal information in the document)

BlockUntrustedRefererLinks: change from Deactivated to Activated (reason:
inadvertant disclosure of user's IP address and time of opening of the
document, used office software package. May also reload malicious content)

MacroSecurityLevel: change from High to Very high (reason: macros should only
be run when document is from a trusted source)

SecureURL: optionally change from Empty to List of paths with limited write
permission (reason: related to MacroSecurityLevel)

CertDir: optionally change from Empty to NSS store of the user (to enable
signing of documents)

TSAURLs: change from Empty to https://zeitstempel.dfn.de,
https://freetsa.org/tsr (reason: without a time-stamp-service it is not
possible to sign PDF documents with time stamp. I hope I got that one
correct/PK)

Link (Calc): (refresh linked data(?)) change from On request to Never (Linking
documents is a security risk. Untrusted documents could automatically import
data from other documents, store that and consequently disclose it)

Link (Writer): (refresh linked data (?)) change from Always to Never (Linking
documents is a security risk. Untrusted documents could automatically import
data from other documents, store that and consequently disclose it)

CheckInterval: change from Weekly to daily (For importent security updates an
interval of 7 days delays installation of updates unnecessarily)

CrashReport: change from Active to Inactive (Working memory can contain
sensitive information that should not be embedded in a crash report)
