FAQs
What is an IT policy?
An IT policy is a document that outlines all your policies and practices for managing technology at your company. The aim is to clarify the rights and responsibilities of both management and employees. By providing clear guidelines, the policy can help you standardize IT management processes and ensure clarity and accountability across your business.
What should an IT policy cover?
Great IT policies cover all your processes related to IT asset management, including device procurement, shipment, and maintenance. It’s important to be comprehensive so there are no gaps that leave rules open to interpretation or cause confusion and frustration. Security is a major concern, as misuse of company devices could leave your company vulnerable to data breaches.
What are the benefits of an IT policy?
Equipment provisioning can be a challenging topic as you may need to set higher allowances or assign different devices depending on role requirements. Teams may react negatively to the perceived disparity. Explaining your eligibility criteria can help employees understand and even support your decisions.
Additionally, IT policies usually cover risks to your company like compliance issues and security threats. If you outline these to employees, they may be more incentivized to follow rules and guidelines.
