Technology Use Monitoring Policy

It is common practice in many enterprises to monitor technology usage. It’s essential that employees be notified of any monitoring that is taking place on the systems they use. Failure to do so could not only leave you unable to act, but also give cause for an employee to launch a privacy violation suit against the enterprise. Include in your organization’s Technology Use Monitoring Policy:

•    Specifics on when and how technology use will be monitored.
•    A log of monitoring events and results.
•    Procedures for non-compliance.

While imperative to security and appropriate use of company resources, monitoring technology use must be done with care. Construct a strong policy to ensure that both employees and the organization know what to expect.
