Do I Need An Acceptable Usage Policy?
What is an AUP?
You have a code of conduct, human resources manual of do’s and don’ts, terms of service for your company phone and maybe a non-disclosure agreement, but do you have an acceptable usage policy?
Sometimes referred to as an Internet and Email policy or acceptable IT policy. An AUP serves the same functions as a Terms of Service agreement that you see when signing up for a new device. These policies deem what behaviour is acceptable from users that work in or are connected to the network.
An Acceptable Use Policy is also one of the few documents that can physically show “due diligence” with regards to the security of your network and the protection of sensitive information and client data in the event of a breach or regulatory audit.
At Avenir IT, we are committed to Cyber Security and want you to be properly prepared. In this download you’ll receive; a free usable AUP template to get you started as well as tips and guidelines on how to use it.

Why do you need an Acceptable Usage Policy?
Most employees do not want to be the cause of a network breach or data loss, yet one in five will do so either through malware or malicious WiFi. Depending on the type of data that passes or is stored on your network, your BYOD policy and who/what has access to your network – an acceptable usage policy is an integral part of your organizations cyber security strategy.
If you would like help creating your AUP or more information on how Avenir IT can help keep your network and data secure, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We engaged Avenir IT in 2017. At that time, we were struggling with our technology strategy. Avenir IT brought an approach and vision that gave us comfort and an understanding of the direction that we needed to take. Their open and honest approach was extremely appreciated. If you are struggling with your current IT provider, I would suggest that you give Avenir IT a call.
