Why This Matters

Protect Your Network and Data with Clear Usage Rules

An acceptable use policy defines how employees may use company IT resources, including computers, networks, internet access, email, and mobile devices.

Without clear rules, organizations face security breaches, productivity loss, legal liability, and compliance failures that can be devastating to operations.

With Business in a Box, you get a proven acceptable use policy template that sets clear boundaries and expectations for all technology use across your organization.
