INTRANET AND INTERNET SECURITY POLICY
Introduction
This is a generic policy that provides rules and guidelines for Internet and intranet security within a company. This tool is intended as a sample for other companies who are in the process of creating or re-evaluating their policy.
All employees are expected to sign and abide by this policy. Signed agreement forms are to be provided to your facility's IT department. After completion, the form will be filed in the individual's human resources file (for permanent employees), or in a folder specifically dedicated to Internet access (for contract workers, etc.), and maintained by the IT department.
The Intranet and Internet Security Policy applies to all Intranet/Internet users (including permanent full-time and part-time employees, contract workers, temporary agency workers, business partners and vendors) who access the Internet through the company's computing or networking resources. Intranet/Internet users are expected to be familiar with and to comply with this policy. Users are also expected to use their common sense and exercise good judgment while using Internet services.
Violations of the Intranet and Internet Security Policy, including but not limited to violation of information specified herein will be documented and can lead to revocation of system privileges and/or disciplinary action up to and including termination. Additionally, the company may at its discretion seek legal remedies for damages incurred as a result of any violation. The company may also be required by law to report certain illegal activities to the proper enforcement agencies.
