Purpose
Your Organization provides information systems, networks, devices, and communication tools to support its business. This policy defines acceptable and prohibited use of those resources so that workforce members understand their responsibilities, Your Organization can meet its legal and contractual obligations, and the organization's information assets stay protected against misuse, disclosure, or damage.
Scope
This policy applies to all workforce members of Your Organization, including full-time and part-time employees, contractors, consultants, temporary workers, and interns ("users"). It covers all Your Organization-owned or -managed information systems, corporate email, productivity and collaboration tools, laptops and mobile devices, cloud services provisioned by Your Organization, the corporate network, and any personal device used to access corporate resources under a bring-your-own-device arrangement.
