Acceptable Use Policy

An Acceptable Use Policy is designed to balance the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees alike. It seeks to define clear terms of what constitutes acceptable usage of information systems.

Employer Advantages
For an employer, it is important to have an Acceptable Usage Policy implemented correctly. This can aid in the legal protection of the entity when difficult circumstances arise from potential misuse or abuse.

Employee Advantages
For employees is important to have a clear understanding of what constitutes safe and responsible usage of information systems. It is important to be aware of your rights and responsibilities when using equipment and infrastructure owned and/or operated by the employer.

Implementing an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Just as important as the AUP itself is the implementation of the Policy. It is important that this be read and accepted by staff. BCT is able to customise the enclosed policy to suit your unique circumstances and also liaise with staff to seek mutual understanding and agreement to the policy.
