Computer Use Policies

Statistically, over 70% of all information security incidents are generated internally from unintended consequences of legitimate actions, disgruntled employees, and mistakes by system administrators and users alike.

Do you have policies in place to manage these risks?

Even more importantly, do your employees know about and understand these policies?

One of the most important facets of a defense-in-depth information security strategy is the creation of appropriate computer use policies and the subsequent education that's required to ensure understanding and compliance.

The consequences from not having appropriate use policies can be severe.  Case law has now determined that employers are liable for illegal content stored on company servers if it was put there by employees, and can face substantial civil and criminal penalties.  Furthermore, companies have little to no recourse if sexual harassment in the workplace occurs as a result of inadequate or nonexistent appropriate use policies.

Additionally, companies routinely lose roughly 15% of their productivity due to inappropriate computer use where polices are either not in place, and/or employees have not been adequately trained.

Digital Securus can provide easy-to-understand templates for computer use policies and assist businesses in quickly customizing, implementing, and providing employee training.
