Every business that uses computers, email and the internet should have a written, comprehensive computer and internet use policy that employees sign.

These provide guidelines that employees must agree to with respect to proper and acceptable usage. It shows due diligence on the part of the employer to show required procedures and try to prevent abuse. It also provides a foundation for disciplinary actions as needed, as well as some protection from legal liabilies caused by actions of employees and system users.

A comprehensive policy will define..

• Security Requirements and Restrictions
• Property and Data Ownership Rights
• Acceptable and Non-acceptable Use
• Monitoring and Investigative Disclosures
• Software Licensing and Usage Restrictions
• Disciplinary Consequences and Actions
• and more...

As a value added service to our managed IT Support clients, SBS will provide a written and customized, comprehensive computer and internet use policy to those partners that desire to implement one.
