No Technology Use Policy = High Business Risk
In the age of ever-increasing reliance on information, there are serious risks to running a business without a comprehensive technology use policy. Employees may sue the business if they are offended by inappropriate Internet use by other employees. Customers or suppliers may sue if their sensitive data is disclosed.
A technology policy must be thorough and enforceable. Technology changes quickly and laws vary widely by state. C&G Consulting has teamed up with a major local law firm to provide a template that takes into account Wisconsin law and provides a framework for a comprehensive business technology policy. The template is complete with a memo which can be distributed to employees, informing them why the company has developed the policy and requiring each employee to sign off that they will adhere to the policy.
C&G Consulting will help you implement the policy and plan the enforcement tools. The policy template will be fine-tuned to express the desire of your business management team. Enforcement tools will be planned including web site content filtering, Internet application blocking (e.g. Instant Messaging or streaming video), and technology usage monitoring. A typical turnkey engagement ranges from $2,000 to $4,000, relatively minor compared to the cost of potential litigation resulting from a nonexistent, loose or poorly enforced technology policy. Mitigate your risks by contacting C&G today.
