Define responsible use of systems, accounts, data, and shared resources.

Type: PolicyVersion: v7

Policy intent

Acceptable Use should express a rule people can follow under pressure: what is expected, what is prohibited, who can approve exceptions, and what evidence is required.

Minimum content

  1. Define who and what the policy covers, including systems, data, tools, users, vendors, and exceptions.
  2. Purpose, scope, and covered parties.
  3. Required behavior and prohibited behavior.
  4. Approval, exception, and review path.
  5. Evidence or recordkeeping expectation.

Expected output

A policy page that states expectations clearly enough to guide approval, exception, and review decisions.

Common failure mode

Keeping the document as a form instead of using it to make decisions visible.

Use notes

AuthorityIdentify who can approve, deny, and grant exceptions.
Exception handlingGive exceptions an owner, reason, expiration, and review date.
Review pointReview when law, tools, contracts, ownership, or operational risk changes.
