Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) defines proper use of technology resources, helping to protect the organisation, employees, and data.
By clearly defining acceptable and unacceptable use of IT resources, an AUP provides a framework that helps companies and their employees operate safely, legally, and effectively. It can help with:
- Organisation security
- Ensures legal compliance
- Manages resources efficiently
- Maintains professionalism
- Protects the organisation's reputation
An acceptable use policy is essential for promoting responsible and secure use of company resources while maintaining a productive and positive work environment.
