When to use this template

Laptops are especially vulnerable to physical damage, loss or theft, either for resale or for the information they contain. The impacts of breaches include not just the replacement value of the hardware but also the value of any data on them, or accessible information through them. Information is a vital asset. The Organisation depends very heavily on our computer systems to provide complete and accurate business information when and where we need it. The impacts of unauthorised access to or modification of important and/or sensitive data can far outweigh the cost of the equipment itself.

Key issues covered in this template

  • Employee responsibilities (e.g. storage, usage, maintenance)

  • Password protection

  • Unauthorised or unlicensed software

  • Health & Safety

  • The password policy (just links to another policy)

What to watch out for

  • You will need to create a separate Password Policy

  • If working remotely from abroad, employees should make themselves aware of local laws - particularly those governing content
