Information Security Policy
La utilización de equipos portátiles o dispositivos móviles conlleva el siguiente cuidado adicional por parte de los usuarios:
En caso de uso de ordenadores portátiles o dispositivos móviles fuera de las instalaciones del Grupo los usuarios deberán llevarlos consigo o ponerlos a buen recaudo, almacenándolos en un lugar cerrado o mediante ***sistemas de anclaje mecánicos***.
De igual forma los usuarios deberán asegurarse de que terceros no autorizados no pueden examinar informaciones relevantes de la Organización.
This appears in an Information Security Policy for a company, on the obligations of users to the company.
I'm not sure what this is talking about - searches seem to show up systems for engineering but not related to laptops. Is it a bolt used to attach the computer to a work surface? A cable which fits into one of the ports?
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Charlotte

cable lock anchor
These things are used to lock laptops to fixed objects in places like offices, so thieves can't simply pick them up and walk away with them. Modern laptops tend to ship with "ports" that these pocks fit into. See the link for examples and other naming suggestions.

Comment: "Thank you. I chose to put cable lock as the other options seemed to me to relate more to engineering than computing. "

mechanical fastening systems
Mechanical anchoring/fixing/fastening/locking systems for your PC. I have no idea whether it consists of cables or clamps or whatever, but I think either of the three options could work. The most likely option I can think of would be chaining the PCs up so they can't be physically removed, in which case "locking systems" might be a better choice.
Example sentence:
A mechanical fastening system for products,
These fasteners grip inserted components.

: Or physical. As you say, it doesn't specify what kind.
