An Acceptable Internet Use Policy is a set of rules and guidelines created by an organisation to regulate the use of its internet resources, ensuring that employees use the internet in a responsible, ethical, and legal manner. The policy is designed to protect both the organisation and its employees by setting clear expectations on what constitutes appropriate online behaviour and the consequences for violating those standards. It covers the usage of the company’s network, internet access, email, social media, and other online platforms, whether on work devices or personal devices used for work purposes.
