Staff computer use policy
I was on the advisory team of a mock job interview last week where one of the interviewers asked what a student would do if their friend gave them a USB stick with the latest and greatest Word software on it. The student said they would test and assess it but really he shouldn't even touch it because:
- It could have a virus and infect the entire work network.
- It is illegal to share copyrighted software.
- If the software has nothing to do with work then it shouldn't be anywhere near the work network.
For those of you that don't have a "Staff acceptable computer use policy" here's ours that you can copy:
Our policy
The Spinning Planet business computers should not have any personal software, movies or music on them - for security, liscencing and time management reasons.
These types of software should not be on your PCs:
- P2P software such as utorrent
- Anything that is not used for business should not be on the PCs.
- Pirated software
