When to use this template

This Policy contains important rules covering the acceptable use of your organisation’s email, mobile, instant messaging, web browser and other online communication facilities. Your organisation provides facilities at its own expense and for its own business purposes, and it is the responsibility of all employees to make sure that any use of the internet follows your organisation’s standards of business and personal conduct. Employees must ensure that they never use online facilities in a manner that could compromise your organisation or its employees in any way. Every member of staff is responsible for ensuring that this Policy is complied with.

Key issues covered in this template

  • Personal use
  • Business use (internal and external emails)
  • Acceptable use of e-communication
  • Use of email disclaimer
  • Monitoring of internet, email and stored data
  • Password creation and cryptographic controls

What to watch out for
