IT systems sit at the centre of most modern businesses. It is essential that business data and equipment are used safely, securely and responsibly.

This Acceptable Use of IT Policy provides a practical foundation for responsible IT usage and data management, helping to protect the business from misuse of IT systems and related security, legal and operational risks.

The Policy sets out clear expectations and guidelines for employees (and other authorised users) about how business IT systems may be used, so users understand their responsibilities in protecting business information and managing data appropriately.

This template may be customised to reflect the specific systems, security settings, workflows and risk profile of the business.
