    You Decide Assignment

    The first policy I will be talking about is the general use and ownership. There are four major parts in this policy that are significant to its ruling. The first being that the "Company 's network administration desires to provide a reasonable level of privacy, users should be aware that the data they create on the corporate systems remains the property of the company" (it-security-policy.com, 2010). The company has the ownership of the equipment that the employees are using, any information that the employees leave in the system is considered to be the company 's property. Employees need to practice good judgment on what to save in the company system. Next, any information that is important to the company and considered to be vulnerable needs to be encrypted. This will prevent any sensitive information to be stolen, and will keep any data protected. Third, the company has the option to run an audit with its respected networks and systems. It 's a procedure that is used to ensure that all policies are met and followed. And lastly, "Employees are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding the reasonable of personal use"(Merkow, 2005, p. 377). From email usage, to data entry, as a company, employees are responsible for our own awareness, and be cautious about what we 're doing.…
