Acceptable Use Policy Template

Build up your Data Governance and Privacy Protocols to help mitigate the risk of improper technology use

With the plethora of new technologies available to help boost business and personal productivity, it can be hard for IT leaders to control access and usage of these tools. But the potential risk is too great to simply open the doors to new tools. Usage policies need to be established that help employees know what is and is not allowed while setting out proper oversight and governance protocols.
