More FAQs

An employee technology acceptable use policy is a document that governs how all employees, contractors, or other users are expected to use company technology assets, networks, or internet connection.

It outlines a code of conduct for acceptable or prohibited behaviors, as well as consequences for violating the policy.

A data use policy or technology acceptable use policy may cover items such as no expectation of privacy, email security, internet or network usage, password requirements, confidentiality, the use of USB or removable storage devices, social media, and more.

First, start by discussing which technology behaviors your organization is going to require or allow, and which will be denied (for example: USB or removable storage devices, secure file transfer requirements, personal activity on work devices, BYOD, etc.)

Consider who will be the point of contact for questions about your policy, and which stakeholders should also have input. With the Defendify Technology Acceptable Use Policy tool, you can simply enter your company and contact details, and then answer a few quick questions. We’ll produce a fully customized policy that addresses multiple security topics in one employee policy to share with your team, customers and partners.
