Ten Easy Steps for Email and Web Best Practices
Overview Whether your organization is a mid-sized company, a small family business, or a publicly traded corporation, any time you allow employees to access the Web and email, you put your organization's assets, future, and reputation at risk. Accidental misuse and intentional abuse - of email and the Internet can create potentially costly and time-consuming legal, regulatory, security, and productivity headaches for any size employer. The ePolicy Institute and MessageLabs have created this business guide to provide best-practices guidelines for developing and implementing effective Email and Web Acceptable Usage Policies for the U.S. workplace. Through the implementation of clearly written Acceptable Usage Policies, employers in the U.S. can maximize employee compliance while minimizing their risk of various electronic and legal disasters. In this white paper, learn in ten simple steps the best practices for managing business email and web usage, in the areas of policy, education and enforcement. The importance of policy is explained, and sample corporate acceptable usage policies are included for your evaluation. Learn whom you should educate about your policies, in what fashion and how frequently. And, finally, make sure employees know the policy will be enforced, by taking action, and by making sure the policy is enforceable through an automated solution. Many employers find content is best managed by policy-based management.
